Not just Milan: more Italian and English clubs chase Niklas Süle | OneFootball

In his first fifth competitive appearance after the Club World Cup, Niklas Süle immediately became the man of the day on Friday. The central defender not only cleared everything defensively in Borussia Dortmund’s 2-0 victory, but also set up Julian Brandt’s opening goal and played a crucial role in the second goal with his ball-winning ability. As a result, several clubs are reportedly interested in signing Süle.

After the Italian Gazzetta dello Sport reported over the weekend that AC Milan is interested in Süle, transfer expert Ekrem Konur now states that Juventus Turin and Inter Milan, as well as unnamed Premier League clubs, are also considering the 30-year-old central defender.

Staying at BVB not officially ruled out yet

However, it is likely that any move would only be on a free transfer in the summer, when Süle’s contract with BVB expires and is, in all likelihood, not going to be extended. At present, a departure in the winter seems unlikely. This is also due to the not yet known risk that BVB could lose Aarón Anselmino—on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season—prematurely, should the Blues exercise a recall clause in January.

Although staying in Dortmund has not been officially ruled out, it is considered unlikely, mainly due to Süle’s reported salary of ten to fourteen million euros per season. Even further strong performances like the one against Gladbach would probably not change the minds of those in charge.
