  • Goalkeeper Alexander Nübel is reportedly transferring to Besiktas Istanbul from Bayern Munich.
  • The transfer fee is said to be around 6.5 million euros plus potential bonuses.
  • Nübel's move marks his second stint playing abroad after previous loan spells in Monaco and Stuttgart.

German goalkeeper Alexander Nübel is set to move abroad for the second time in his club career, reportedly joining Turkish Süper Lig side Besiktas Istanbul from German champions FC Bayern Munich. Sky Sport reported the transfer agreement between the two clubs.

The transfer fee is rumored to be approximately 6.5 million euros, with an additional five million euros possible through bonuses. Nübel, 29, is expected to sign a contract with Besiktas until the summer of 2029, pending a successful medical examination.

This move effectively ends Nübel's chapter at Bayern Munich, where he arrived in 2020 on a free transfer from Schalke 04. Despite being with the Bavarian club for six years, he only managed to play four competitive matches. Bayern's board had previously informed Nübel's agent that he was not required for the team's training camp.

Nübel's career has included previous loan spells at AS Monaco from 2021 to 2023, highlighting his experience playing outside of Germany.
