Rumors about a strained relationship between Bayern Munich goalkeepers Alexander Nübel and Manuel Neuer are attributed to Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidžić. He says they did not get along and that Neuer did not drop games, which he believes was frustrating for Nübel. Salihamidžić also explains that Nübel was signed in 2021 on a free transfer with an initial two-year evaluation plan. He questions Bayern’s April 2024 contract extension for Nübel through 2029, followed by the acquisition of Jonas Urbig shortly afterward. He suggests Bayern must have had an intention, noting that Neuer and Urbig get along well and that Urbig performs strongly, including with his feet. He believes Nübel will be fine but may need to reconsider his contract.
"“Interpersonally, it never clicked between the two of them. Neuer and Nübel didn't get along, and Manuel didn't give up any games either. That's why it was frustrating for Alex,” Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidžić said during an appearance on Sport1 Doppelpass (as captured by @iMiaSanMia_GER)."
"“I don't think that's entirely fair now. He was signed on a free transfer, and we thought: Okay, we'll take a look at it for two years and decide then,” Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidžić stated. “I don't think that's entirely fair now.

"“I don't know what the intention was when the contract was extended. They must have had something in mind,” said Salihamidžić. The two of them (Neuer and Urbig) are getting along well now. Urbig is doing a fantastic job too - he plays with his feet even better, I have to say."
