Alexander Nübel (born 30 September 1996, age 30) is a German goalkeeper with Besiktas. At 6ft 4in (1.93m), he has the imposing frame expected of a modern keeper, though the job still tends to come down to decisions rather than inches.
His senior league career was under way at Schalke 04 in 2015-16, when he made one league appearance. Since then he has built a steady professional record, and Transfermarkt values him at around £10m.
At Beşiktaş in 2026-27, Nübel has made 17 appearances across all competitions, including nine in the Süper Lig, five in Europa League qualifying and three in the Europa League proper. His season has been solid overall, although there has been a slight dip lately.
He has also been involved with Germany this season, making one Nations League appearance. Nübel’s career is that of an established goalkeeper: developed through Schalke’s first-team picture, now carrying regular responsibility at Beşiktaş, with his international involvement sitting alongside his club work.
