The Bayern goalkeeper’s dilemma is solved. Sporting director and squad planner Hasan Salihamidzic will say “Finally”, because the farce of the first substitute behind Manuel Neuer is over. The focus may once again be on urgently needed new acquisitions.
Neuer was, is and continues to be the undisputed number one. Sven Ulreich probably would have remained number two under Hansi Flick if he hadn’t moved to the Hamburger SV through a flash. Alexander Nübel would have had to duel Ulreich for number two, because Flick is about performance and not name.
More porter theater would have been pre-programmed. Not only for the protagonists. Also for the public interest.

Anyway, a duel of deputies behind Neuer was never planned. Especially not for the Nübel management, so they had intense discussions with Salihamidzic during the week. Tenor: Either it can be loaned to Nübel or it becomes both solids.
Profitable for all parties
A solution was needed. It was not expected that it would now be profitable for all parties. But it is the case.
As of now, Nübel is number two. However, it remains to be seen whether he will get the assignments he has been awarded. Flick won’t be swayed into the lineup, but at least he won’t have to worry about deciding which goalkeeper to put in the stands.

Ulreich becomes number one in a traditional club with excellent promotional opportunities. If he stays in Germany, Bayern will pay more than 80 percent of his salary until the end of the season. The contract is terminated. HSV doesn’t even have to pay a transfer fee.
Good HSV poker in Ulreich
The fact that Ulreich was almost given away shows how much Bayern wanted a quick fix. Well played, HSV!
But it’s also clear: FC Bayern have one less worry, but they will miss Ulreich both athletically and personally. And Nübel first has to show that he dominates Neuer’s representation at FC Bayern as Ulreich did for years.
