Club career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Nübel grew up in Salzkotten-Tudorf in East Westphalia,[5] and began playing football at TSV Tudorf. In 2005 he moved to the youth department of SC Paderborn, where he was initially active as an outfield player until under-14 level.[6] Initially with Paderborn, he moved up to the professional squad for the 2014–15 season, but remained inactive throughout the season.

Schalke 04

[edit]

Nübel then moved to Schalke 04, where he was utilised in the second team competing in the Regionalliga West. On 14 May 2016, he made his Bundesliga debut against TSG Hoffenheim when he replaced Ralf Fährmann after 90 minutes.

Nübel started the season as Schalke's backup goalkeeper to Fährmann. On 24 October 2018, he made his Champions League debut for Schalke in a 0–0 away draw against Galatasaray.[7]

After the winter break, Schalke's head coach Domenico Tedesco, dropped Fährmann as the club's first-choice goalkeeper and promoted Nübel.[8] On 2 February 2019, Nübel was sent off with a straight red card in a match against Borussia Mönchengladbach and was suspended for the club's next two Bundesliga matches.[9] He started in every match for Schalke after he was selected as the first-choice goalkeeper, with the exception of the two matches he was suspended for.

On 6 August 2019, Nübel was selected by Schalke's head coach David Wagner as the club's new captain.[10] He entered the season with only one year left on his contract with Schalke. On 22 December 2019, Schalke revealed that Nübel had informed the club that he would not renew his contract.[11] On 4 January 2020, Nübel agreed to join Bayern Munich on a free transfer at the end of the season.[12] He then handed the captaincy over to Omar Mascarell.[13]

Bayern Munich

[edit]

Nübel joined Bayern Munich on 30 June 2020.[14] He made his debut for Bayern in the first round of the DFB-Pokal on 15 October where the club defeated fifth division side 1. FC Düren by a score of 3–0.[15] On 1 December 2020, he made his Champions League debut with Bayern in a 1–1 away draw against Atlético Madrid during the group stage of the 2020–21 season.[16] On 15 May 2021, he made his Bundesliga debut in a 2–2 away draw against Freiburg.[17]

2021–23: Loan to Monaco

[edit]

On 27 June 2021, Nübel was loaned out to French Ligue 1 club Monaco on a two-season loan, with Bayern Munich having the option to cut the loan short after one season.[18]

Since 2023: Loan to VfB Stuttgart with extension for two more years

[edit]

On 25 July 2023, Nübel returned to the Bundesliga and joined VfB Stuttgart on a season-long loan.[19] On 12 April 2024, he signed a contract extension with Bayern Munich until 2029,[20] and his loan was extended for two more years at Stuttgart.[21]

International career

[edit]

Nübel was a youth international footballer for Germany.[22]

On 16 May 2024, he was named in the 27-man preliminary squad of Germany for the UEFA Euro 2024.[23] However, on 7 June, he was excluded from the final squad prior to the tournament.[24] Later that year, on 11 October, he made his senior debut by starting in a 2–1 away victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the UEFA Nations League.[25][26]
