Alexander Nübel

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

Alexander Nübel (born 30 September 1996, age 29) is a German goalkeeper with Besiktas. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.93m), he has the frame for the job, which is a start, though goalkeeping careers tend to ask rather more awkward questions than the tape measure does.

His senior record includes a league appearance for Schalke 04 in 2015-16, before his career moved on to its current point in Turkey. At Besiktas in 2025-26, he has made one Europa League qualifying appearance, which is also his total for the club across all competitions.

His market value is around £10m, according to Transfermarkt. Nübel’s profile is that of an established German goalkeeper now trying to build his place at Besiktas.
