VfB Stuttgart have officially announced that goalkeeper Alexander Nübel will leave the club when the season finishes. The 29-year-old has completed a three-year loan stint and will now head back to his parent side, FC Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga champions have already stated their plan to find a buyer for the German keeper in the summer transfer market. This marks the end of a successful temporary stay for Nübel in Stuttgart.
During his time at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the shot-stopper featured in 129 matches across all competitions. He played a key role in helping the club qualify for European tournaments for three straight years. This period also included a memorable victory in the DFB Cup.
Fabian Wohlgemuth, the club’s sporting director, praised the goalkeeper’s impact. He said Nübel set high standards both on and off the pitch during his stay. Wohlgemuth noted that the player was always dependable and contributed greatly to Stuttgart’s recent progress.
“Alex has our heartfelt thanks for our time together,” Wohlgemuth stated. He added that the club wishes the player well in his future career and personal life.
Nübel also shared his thoughts on leaving the Swabian side. He described his experience in Stuttgart as “sensational” in every way. The keeper explained that he and his family felt welcome from the very first day.
“The team and the fans showed me so much appreciation,” he said. He highlighted the success on the field, including three European qualifications and unforgettable nights in the Champions League and Europa League. He also mentioned the special moment of lifting the DFB Cup, which he will remember forever.
Now, attention turns to where Nübel will play next season. Bayern Munich are looking to sell, meaning the keeper is likely to find a new permanent home away from both Stuttgart and Munich.
