“I’m very happy about this decision and the trust that FC Bayern has shown in me. At the same time, I feel very good in Stuttgart,” Nuebel said.

“I want to enjoy success with Stuttgart and take my next steps personally.”

Nuebel was sent out on loan to Monaco for two seasons and has spent this campaign at Stuttgart.

Relegation candidates last campaign, Stuttgart have impressed this season with Nuebel keeping 12 clean sheets.

Stuttgart sit third, level on points with Bayern, and are on course for a return to the Champions League for the first time since 2009-10.
