Bayern Munich has chosen their heir to Neuer: class of '96 keeper from Schalke 04 Alexander Nübel. The Bavarian club announced the transfer on their official site: "Alexander Nübel will sign for the 2020/21 season. The 23 year-old keeper will remain under contract with FC Schalke 04 until June 30. Nubel will arrive in Munich on July 1 on a free transfer and for 5 years." This is an important acquisition for the team, who is focused on acquiring a young keeper and great prospects. Nübel is already the captain of his team.
This isn't the first time that Bayern has looked for a keeper in Schalke's home. It already happened with Neuer, who came up with Gelsenkirchen's youth team before becoming captain. Neuer is a locked-in starter for Flick's team, but may need to fight for his starting spot next season.
