Bayern have Manuel Neuer's successor! German giants agree new long-term deal with Alexander Nubel but goalkeeper will be loaned to Stuttgart again

According to Sky Germany, the German stop-stopper, who is presently on loan at Stuttgart, will sign a new contract that runs until 2030. The Bavarians want to keep him committed to the team for an extended period of time because he is widely viewed as one of the possible successors to the ageing Manuel Neuer.

Bayern have reportedly also held talks with Stuttgart regarding the extension of Nubel's current loan deal that was supposed to end this summer. The extension of the loan would keep the 27-year-old with Die Schwaben until the summer of 2025, after which he will return to the Bavarian side on a permanent basis.

Nubel has had a very good season with Stuttgart under Sebastian Hoeness as they have the fourth best defence in the league having conceded fewer goals than even Bayern themselves. Die Schwaben sit in third place, level on points with Nubel's parent club and could even surpass them in the league standings with Bayern struggling over the past few weeks.

The goalkeeper will take his place in between the sticks when Stuttgart take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, April 13 as they look to solidify their spot for next season's Champions League.
