Manuel Neuer has been called "by far the best goalkeeper in the world" by Hansi Flick, suggesting the incoming Alexander Nubel will start his Bayern Munich career as a deputy.
Bayern are four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and on a 15-match unbeaten run in all competitions, with Neuer among those to have rediscovered their best form.
The 33-year-old Germany international's place as Bayern's number one beyond this season had looked under threat when the club announced 23-year-old Nubel would be joining them in July on a free transfer from Schalke.
