Nübel's agent reacts to speculation about an early return to Bayern

Alexander Nübel's agent, Stefan Backs, insists he hasn't heard from Bayern Munich about the possibility of cutting his client's loan spell at Monaco short.
Alexander Nübel's agent, Stefan Backs, has reacted to reports suggesting that Bayern Munich could bring his client back from his loan at AS Monaco following the news that Manuel Neuer will miss the rest of the season due to an injury.

Some reports have claimed that Bayern have already made contact with the Nübel camp, but Backs denies that is the case.

"I can't answer this question at the moment because I haven’t had any contact with Bayern and Alex hasn't heard anything from Munich either," Backs told DPA (via @iMiaSanMia).

"It's not an easy situation for the club because they have to change their thoughts completely. You need calm for that. That may be there reason nobody has contacted us yet. Alex signed a contract with Bayern to play there at some point.

"However, conditions must be met for that to happen. Therefore, before taking such a step, we would first have to discuss with the people in charge at Bayern. Alex needs maximum backing."
