Manchester City will look to sign 29-year-old German international Alexander Nubel from Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Sport BILD, as relayed by Sport Witness, Alexander Nubel is the subject of interest from Manchester City. The Premier League giants are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a goalkeeper in the coming months amid uncertainties surrounding James Trafford’s long-term future.
The Citizens have already registered their interest in the Bayern Munich outcast, but they face stiff competition from Juventus for his signature. Meanwhile, the Bundesliga champions will demand around €10-15 million to part ways with Nubel in the upcoming transfer window.
Alexander Nubel has had to bide his time since joining Bayern Munich from FC Schalke 04 in July 2020. Many felt the Bavarian giants had repeated history by signing another goalkeeper from Schalke, having seen Manuel Neuer go from a promising prospect to one of the greatest shot-stoppers of all time.
However, Nubel has barely featured for Bayern Munich, managing only four appearances thus far. Instead, the 29-year-old has spent the last half a decade on loan with AS Monaco and VfB Stuttgart. The spell with Stuttgart, in particular, has seen the German international make exponential progress while provoking the interest of several well-known clubs, including Manchester City.
Manchester City’s interest in Alexander Nubel makes sense.
