Besiktas have signed Bayern Munich goalkeeper Alexander Nubel

The 29-year-old German international goalkeeper has signed a contract until 2029 after completing his transfer, with reports in Germany stating the deal is worth six and a half million euros, with a further five million euros in potential add-ons.

Nubel joined Bayern on a free transfer from Schalke in 2020 but found first-team opportunities limited. He spent the last three seasons on loan at Stuttgart, where he established himself as one of the Bundesliga's most reliable goalkeepers.

Stuttgart wanted to keep Nubel permanently but were unable to match his salary, while Bayern already had Manuel Neuer, Jonas Urbig and Sven Ulreich in their goalkeeping ranks, leaving Nubel free to seek a new challenge.

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl thanked the goalkeeper for his contribution and backed him to succeed in Turkey.

"Alexander Nubel is a very good goalkeeper who has consistently developed and established himself at FC Bayern, Monaco and Stuttgart," Eberl said.

"He now wants to take the next step at Besiktas. We wish him all the best for his future."

Although Nubel made only four senior appearances during his first season at Bayern, he collected Bundesliga, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup and German Super Cup winners' medals before spending successful loan spells away from Munich.

After arriving in Istanbul, Nubel expressed his excitement about beginning the next chapter of his career.

"It is very nice to be at Besiktas. I am very happy to be here," he told the club's official YouTube channel.

"I cannot wait to get started, meet up with my teammates, and begin training."

The German goalkeeper is also looking forward to experiencing the famous atmosphere at Besiktas' home ground.

"I have heard very beautiful things about our stadium. I can't wait to play out on the pitch in front of the Besiktas fans," he said.
