"Big disappointment": Hamann lays into BVB star Süle | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund and Niklas Süle will part ways in the summer. TV expert Dietmar Hamann has strong words about the defender's time at BVB.

The time shared between Niklas Süle and Borussia Dortmund will end this coming summer. After four years at BVB, the defender will leave the club when his contract expires. For TV expert Dietmar Hamann, this outcome is hardly surprising – quite the opposite: he has strong words regarding the defender's performance.

"Süle was a big disappointment in the four years he was there," said Hamann on Saturday on Sky. The former national player recalled that the defender transferred from FC Bayern to Dortmund in 2022 on a free transfer and was among the top earners there. Expectations were accordingly high.

In fact, Süle largely fell short of hopes at BVB. Although the 30-year-old has played 108 competitive matches for Dortmund so far, he was repeatedly set back by injuries. In the current season, he missed numerous games due to various injuries and only played sporadically under coach Niko Kovac.

Süle wants to make a comeback after BVB exit

The club recently officially confirmed the impending end of the collaboration. "After four years in black and yellow, the time shared by Niklas Süle and Borussia Dortmund will end in the summer. This has been mutually agreed upon by BVB and Süle," the club announced.

What lies ahead for the player, who has been capped 49 times for Germany, is still uncertain. However, his agent Volker Struth still believes in his client's potential. "Let's not kid ourselves: especially in the last year, things have been a bit bumpy," he said on the Bild podcast Phrasenmäher.

Despite the criticism and the difficult last few months, Struth does not expect a quick end to Süle's career. Süle wants to make a comeback and continue his career positively. Where the defender will go in the summer is currently still unclear.
