Bayern reject Stuttgart's first offer for Nübel, reports Bild

According to Bild, Bayern Munich have rejected an opening bid from Stuttgart to sign Alexander Nübel on loan.
Bayern Munich have rejected an initial bid for Alexander Nübel from VfB Stuttgart, according to Bild.

Stuttgart are said to have offered €500,000 to sign the 26-year-old on a one-year loan deal, which was apparently "far too little" for the Bavarians.

While the Bavarians would prefer to sell Nübel, a loan move can't be completely ruled out, according to the report.

Nübel's agent, Stefan Backs, has previously made it clear that his client is looking for a new club after spending the last two years on loan at Monaco.

"We have always said that it doesn't make sense for Alex to return to Bayern as long as Manuel Neuer is there. He's fit again now. That's why I'm looking for a new club for Alex - one that will take him as far as possible," Backs told t-online last month.

"Criterion number one is that he has to play, criterion number two is at the highest possible level. That means preferably the Champions League or the Premier League. The Premier League or a club that plays internationally are possible targets."
