Niklas Süle leaves FC Bayern. Where he is headed is uncertain. According to a media report, BVB is also involved in future poker.
Borussia Dortmund has loud sports1 Contacted Niklas Süle, who was free in the summer. BVB is therefore in talks with the national player’s side to explore the possibility of a transfer for the coming season. Even before Süle’s move from TSG Hoffenheim to Munich, BVB had put out feelers for the central defender.
Süle switched to the Isar in 2017 for 20 million euros. Negotiations to extend the contract recently failed, the 26-year-old rejected an offer from the German record champions and will leave the club after five years.
One thing is clear: Dortmund wants to strengthen its defense for the coming season. In addition to Manuel Akanji and Mats Hummels, who was prone to injury recently, BVB has no other reliable central defender in its ranks. Dan-Axel Zagadou was repeatedly thrown back by serious injuries, Wolfsburg loan Marin Pongracic has hardly played a role under coach Marco Rose since his memorable interview and is expected to leave the club again.
According to the sports picture however, Dortmund’s interest in Süle has nothing to do with it. Accordingly, Nico Schlotterbeck from SC Freiburg should represent the desired solution. The 22-year-old would fit perfectly into BVB’s sought-after profile.
BVB transfer? Süle is aiming for a move to the Premier League
Süle may be drawn to England. It’s an open secret that he’s eyeing a move to the Premier League. Newcastle United and Chelsea FC are considered very interested. FC Barcelona is also said to be interested. According to reports, Süle cannot imagine moving to the nouveau riche Magpies.
FC Bayern has also been linked to Schlotterbeck in the past, but should refrain from a transfer in view of the many free transfer central defenders (Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rüdiger and Matthias Ginter).
According to information from GOAL and SPOX, Bayern are primarily trying to get Christensen. Rüdiger is also one of the shortlisted candidates. The contracts of both Chelsea stars also expire in the summer.
