Report: Alexander Nübel wants 12 to 18 games at Bayern Munich next season

There is no question that Bayern Munich’s Alexander Nübel is one of the top, young goalkeepers in world.

With great physical tools and awareness, Nübel seems like as a good a candidate as any to eventually take over for Manuel Neuer in Bavaria. The issue, it seems, is that Neuer has shown no signs of slowing down and his 24-year-old protégé is in need of more time on the pitch.

Per Sport1 journalist Florian Plettenberg, Nübel wants 12 to 18 games next season — a number which is likely more than Neuer or new boss Julian Nagelsmann would be comfortable with:

There have been several loan destinations already mentioned for Nübel with AS Monaco being the most persistent of the bunch.

A move for Nübel would probably be in the best interest of all parties at this stage. Barring any shocking developments, Neuer seems to have a handful of good seasons left, which could be a major roadblock for Nübel’s immediate career aspirations.
