# Beşiktaş goalkeeper roster overhaul and Nübel's strong start > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/bayern-munich-nbel-transfer-talks > Updated: 2026-08-09T08:32:13.000Z. Sources: 108. Developments: 12. During June and July 2026, Beşiktaş overhauled its goalkeeping roster. Following transfer negotiations between Beşiktaş and Bayern Munich, the Turkish club completed the signing of Alexander Nübel on a three-year contract through 2029. The transfer fee was reported at approximately €6–€6.5 million, plus up to €5 million in performance bonuses. Nübel, who spent six years at Bayern with limited league appearances and several loan spells, expressed motivation to compete in European competitions and derbies. Simultaneously, Beşiktaş secured 23-year-old Doğan Alemdar from Başakşehir on a four-year deal. Alemdar noted that the competition with Nübel would benefit the club. To facilitate the new lineup, the club ended its contract with homegrown goalkeeper Ersin Destanoğlu, who subsequently joined UAE side Al-Jazira on a free transfer. Nübel made his debut for Beşiktaş on 23 July in a Europa League second-qualifying round match against FC Midtjylland, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 away victory. His performance, including a decisive 79th-minute save, earned praise from coach Vincenzo Italiano. By early August 2026, Nübel maintained his strong form, recording three consecutive clean sheets in competitive appearances against FC Midtjylland and FC Hradec Kralove. Turkish media and fans have responded enthusiastically to his performances. Former goalkeeper coach Vatroslav Mihacic highlighted that Nübel's ability to use both feet effectively provides a tactical advantage in modern buildup play and transitions, while his composure under pressure continues to offer defensive stability. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-09: Alexander Nübel enjoys successful start at Beşiktaş Alexander Nübel has made a strong start at Beşiktaş, recording three consecutive clean sheets and earning high praise from Turkish media and former coaches for his technical ability. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alexander-nbel-expected-to-bring-stability-to-beikta-goal ### 2026-07-23: Alexander Nübel shines on Besiktas debut in Europa League qualifier Alexander Nübel debuted for Besiktas in a 1‑0 Europa League qualifier win over Midtjylland, keeping a clean sheet and earning coach praise; his €6 million move from Bayern was motivated by limited chances at Ne 56 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/goalkeeper-alexander-nbel-debuts-for-beikta-after-leaving-bayern-munich ### 2026-07-11: Ersin Destanoğlu joins Al-Jazira after leaving Beşiktaş Turkish goalkeeper Ersin Destanoğlu, 25, left Beşiktaş after his contract expired and signed a three‑year free‑transfer deal with UAE club Al‑Jazira. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ersin-destanolu-joins-al-jazira-after-leaving-beikta ### 2026-07-11: Beşiktaş goalkeeper Doğan Alemdar says competition with Alexander Nübel will boost the club Beşiktaş newcomer Doğan Alemdar says his rivalry with German keeper Alexander Nübel will boost the team, citing personal pride in wearing shirt 80. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/beikta-adds-five-signings-and-opens-talks-for-midfielder-mert-kmr ### 2026-07-10: FC Bayern’s Nübel deal labeled a loss after years of loans FC Bayern’s free‑signing of Alexander Nübel in 2020 proved a financial loss after limited play and multiple loans, prompting the €7 million signing of Jonas Urbig as a new goalkeeping replacement. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fc-bayerns-nbel-transfer-judged-lossmaking ### 2026-07-09: Alexander Nübel joins Beşiktaş on three‑year deal German goalkeeper Alexander Nübel signed a three‑year contract with Turkish club Beşiktaş, saying he’s eager to play for the “big club with crazy fans” and aims for derby wins and European success. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alexander-nbel-excited-for-debut-with-beikta ### 2026-07-09: FC Bayern news: Gnabry's comeback, Nübel's low‑value move, Palhinha transfer talks Bayern's Gnabry nears a comeback, Nübel moves to Beşiktaş for a low fee, and a €25 million Benfica bid is reported for midfielder João Palhinha. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bayern-munich-and-bayer-leverkusen-make-costly-transfer-moves ### 2026-07-08: Beşiktaş parts with Ersin Destanoğlu and signs goalkeeper Doğan Alemdar Beşiktaş releases Ersin Destanoğlu, signs Doğan Alemdar; Salih Sarıkaya joins Sakaryaspor and Ramazan Civelek departs Kayserispor. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/beikta-parts-ways-with-homegrown-goalkeeper-ersin-destanolu ### 2026-07-07: Alexander Nübel joins Beşiktaş from Bayern Munich Alexander Nübel transfers from Bayern Munich to Beşiktaş for roughly €6.5 million, signs a three‑year deal until 2029, and arrives in Istanbul to begin his new role as goalkeeper. 16 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alexander-nbel-signs-for-besiktas-ahead-of-medicals-in-istanbul ### 2026-07-05: Beşiktaş signs goalkeeper Alexander Nübel and secures Doğan Alemdar Beşiktaş completes the €6.5 m plus bonuses signing of Bayern goalkeeper Alexander Nübel (contract to 2029) and secures Turkish keeper Doğan Alemdar on a four‑year deal, both pending medicals in Istanbul. 15 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alexander-nbel-signs-for-besiktas-after-leaving-bayern-munich ### 2026-06-29: Beşiktaş intensifies chase for goalkeeper Alexander Nübel Beşiktaş is negotiating with Bayern Munich for goalkeeper Alexander Nübel, confirming interest and focusing on a €20 million release clause; Nübel has indicated willingness to join Istanbul. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/beikta-intensifies-chase-for-goalkeeper-alexander-nbel ### 2026-06-21: Bayern Munich draws transfer bids for Araújo, Kim, Nübel Bayern Munich faces summer transfer interest for defender Tomás Araújo, defender Minjae Kim and goalkeeper Alexander Nübel, with bids from Dortmund, Juventus and Beşiktaş respectively. 12 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/michael-olise-ignores-bayern-munich-contract-offer-future-uncertain --- Cite as: Beşiktaş goalkeeper roster overhaul and Nübel's strong start.
