Chelsea get a boost as Bayern are ready to sell their 25-year-old defensive star

Transfer News: Chelsea get Niklas Sule boost

According to transfer news from Express, Chelsea are set to receive a boost in their pursuit of Niklas Sule. Bayern Munich are prepared to let the 25-year-old leave in the summer to raise funds for other transfers.

Chelsea and Tuchel are said to be after a new centre-back as they look to refresh their defensive options for next season. The club have relied on the likes of Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rudiger, Thiago Silva and Kurt Zouma this season.

Bayern to sell Niklas Sule

The Blues had shortlisted Bayern’s Niklas Sule as a potential option. They are hoping to take advantage of his contract situation at the club. His current deal is set to end in 2022 and there have been no talks of an extension. Sule has faced a host of injuries during his spell at Bayern but is still considered as one of the better defenders in the league.

Nonetheless, Bayern are all set to give Chelsea a chance to get their hands on Sule. They are willing to let the player leave as they are looking at a defensive clearout. It will also see the likes of David Alaba and Jerome Boateng leave the club. Bayern have already signed Dayot Upamecano for next summer and want to recoup something from the sale of Sule.
