U-turn for Süle? Transfer insider surprises with BVB prediction | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund may be facing a surprising personnel decision this summer. A transfer expert suggests an unexpected twist in the future of Niklas Süle at BVB.

Initially, many signs pointed to a departure. Niklas Süle's contract with Borussia Dortmund expires at the end of the season, and an extension was considered unlikely. However, transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio has now provided an assessment that is fueling new speculation.

The central defender joined Dortmund on a free transfer from FC Bayern in the summer of 2022. At the time, the transfer was celebrated as a major success. In the following years, however, Süle fell short of expectations. Injuries, inconsistent performances, and strong competition in defense prevented the 30-year-old from establishing himself as an undisputed regular starter.

Despite this situation, Di Marzio considers a surprising development possible. "There is no news on Süle, and I even believe that he could extend his contract with Borussia Dortmund," the Italian said in an interview with the portal wettfreunde. According to his information, BVB is still working on a solution with the defender. "They really want him to stay."

Süle is among the top earners at BVB

So far, however, the club has been expected to part ways in the summer. Süle is one of the top earners in the Dortmund squad, so a departure would also provide financial relief. Additionally, the defender has only made a limited number of competitive appearances this season.

If Dortmund is indeed considering a contract extension, it would likely only be possible under changed conditions. It is assumed that a significant salary reduction would play a central role. It is also notable that few other transfer insiders have shared similar information so far. Therefore, it remains unclear whether Di Marzio's statement reflects concrete developments or rather a personal assessment.

What is clear is that the future of Niklas Süle at BVB is still not definitively settled. Whether there will be a surprising extension or a parting of ways in the summer will likely only be decided in the coming months.
