Alexander Nübel

Alexander Nübel of Stuttgart was born in Paderborn, Germany on 30 September 1996 (age 29).

Alexander Nübel, born on 30 September 1996 (age 29), is a German goalkeeper currently with Stuttgart. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.93m), he first appears in the senior league record at Schalke 04 in 2015–2016, when he made one league appearance.

Nübel’s career path runs from Paderborn 07 to Schalke 04, Bayern Munich, Monaco and Stuttgart. The trajectory points to a goalkeeper rated highly enough for Bayern to sign him, but whose development has depended on loan spells for regular senior football. Stuttgart currently looks like the stage where that continuity has been strongest.

The transfer history is defined by value plays and loans. Schalke paid €150,000 to take Nübel from Paderborn, Bayern then signed him from Schalke on a free transfer, and subsequent moves to Monaco and Stuttgart have been loans. That pattern suggests Bayern retained control of the asset while Nübel sought minutes elsewhere, rather than a straightforward permanent climb from club to club.
