STUTTGART, Germany — Fast-rising Stuttgart is set to keep goalkeeper Alexander Nübel for its likely return to the Champions League next season after extending his loan move from Bayern Munich for another two seasons. Nübel is already on loan at Stuttgart and has been crucial to the team's surprise run to third in the Bundesliga this season with six games to play. Stuttgart hasn't played in the Champions League since the 2009-10 season. Bayern said Friday that Nübel had extended his contract with the club through to 2029. The loan deal means he won't play for Bayern until at least 2026.
