Chelsea to go after this 25-year-old Bundesliga star to bolster the defence

Transfer News: Chelsea to go after Niklas Sule

According to transfer news from Mirror, Chelsea are looking to go after Bayern Munich star Niklas Sule. The Bavarian are open to listening for offers for the 25-year-old German defender and they have shown interest in meeting the Blues’ representatives regarding a transfer.

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.

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 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 listen to any offer that might come for him. Bayern have reportedly shown interest in negotiating a deal with the Blues’ representatives over a deal for the defender.
