Niklas Sule is set to leave Bayern Munich once his contract expires and link up with Borussia Dortmund as a free agent, with offers from English clubs being rejected by the German international.
The 26-year-old center-half has opted against committing to fresh terms at the Allianz Arena, with a new challenge now being sought.
Newcastle and Chelsea are said to be among his many suitors from England but a man that has been on Bayern’s books since 2017 has taken the decision to remain in the Bundesliga and sign a four-year contract with BVB.
Dortmund’s sporting director, Michael Zorc, has announced on the club’s official website, the securing of the services of another proven performer: “We are pleased that we were able to sign a German national player Niklas Sule and retain him for four years.
