He has been strongly advised to seek a new club. As yet, there has been no face-to-face meeting with sporting director Max Eberl or sporting director Christoph Freund.
Last week, ran.de reported that Nübel will not play for either VfB or Bayern Munich next season, and that three unnamed top clubs are competing for the national goalkeeper's services. Bayern are said to be hoping for offers from the financially powerful Premier League so they can negotiate a win-win situation for both player and club.
On one hand, he would avoid a pay cut; on the other, Bayern would secure their asking price for a goalkeeper they signed on a free transfer from Schalke 04 in 2020. According to Bild, Nübel could even serve as a bargaining chip in the proposed move for Anthony Gordon.
Newcastle United are reported to be seeking a new goalkeeper, with Sky claiming they have already sounded out RC Lens about Robin Risser, though the French cup winners are holding out for between 30 and 40 million euros. Nübel could be used as a makeweight to lower the cost of Gordon's transfer.
The Magpies are reportedly demanding up to €80 million for the Bayern target. Gordon has been linked with a move to Munich for many weeks now, as he would raise the squad's quality, both as a backup for Harry Kane and as a challenger to Luis Diaz on the left wing. However, Mundo Deportivo claims that FC Barcelona are now in pole position for the England international.
At Newcastle, Aaron Ramsdale and Nick Pope contested the number one jersey all season, with Ramsdale making 23 appearances and Pope 36; neither established clear supremacy. That means Nübel would arrive with a realistic chance of regular game time.
