With a signing closed at €6.5m, Bayern Munich finally managed to sell Alexander Nubel to Besiktas of Turkey, in a transfer where the footballer would have a contract with the Turkish team until 2029, leaving the German team in search of important minutes in a new project.
In the transfer window, the moves that European teams have been making have not been the most flashy, nor have they been with a great influx, given the moment being experienced in the World Cup, and it seems that everyone is waiting for it to end to make some moves.
However, Bayern Munich have already moved by signing Ismael Saibari and Nathaniel Brown, being two exceptional signings in very quick moves as soon as the transfer window opened, since they did not want to pave the way for any team to see these figures.
For the German team, not only do great signings count, but it seems that a possible sale they were waiting for several months would finally materialize for a player who did not have a guaranteed place in Vincent Kompany's project.
Alexander Nubel Would Leave Bayern Munich to Join the Turkish League
With a signing closed at €6.5m, Bayern Munich finally managed to sell Alexander Nubel to Besiktas of Turkey, in a transfer where the footballer would have a contract with the Turkish team until 2029, leaving the German team in search of important minutes in a new project.
Nubel was at Bayern Munich since 2020 in a signing made with the aim of having a backup goalkeeper for Manuel Neuer; however, he never managed to meet the team's expectations, being loaned multiple times to teams like AS Monaco of France and Stuttgart of Germany.
With the Bavarian team, he only played 4 matches, where he conceded 4 goals and obtained 1 clean sheet, without having great minutes with Bayern Munich, being a goalkeeper who did not manage to exploit all his potential in terms of the great talent he has. At 29 years old, he is a goalkeeper with great abilities and a height that favors his position.
What Was Expected of Alexander Nubel at Bayern Munich?
A young promise arrived at Bayern Munich in 2020 at 23 years old, but he never managed to have the expected opportunity. A great goalkeeper with good height and great qualities as a keeper, his last stint at Stuttgart showed the great quality of Nubel, as never seen at Bayern Munich.
It was expected that Nubel would arrive at a European giant, or remain competing in one of the 5 big leagues, but now he arrived at Besiktas, a team with great renown in Turkey, but without a good international level. The expectations of the great goalkeeper that was had with Nubel seem to have been lost.
Author’s Take: A Necessary Sale for Bayern Munich
The sale of Nubel paves the way to make good money for Bayern Munich, and they can invest it in search of a player necessary for Vincent Kompany's project, surely a defender or a midfielder.
However, the German team cannot afford not to have a good goalkeeper, since for next season, given Manuel Neuer's age, it is important to have a quality goalkeeper with great hierarchy if they want to compete for all championships.
