Report: No future for Süle at BVB | OneFootball

Will his fourth year at BVB also be his last? Niklas Süle (30) is apparently on the verge of leaving Borussia Dortmund. Accordingly, the defender will have to look for a new employer after this season ends.

Süle has not spent much time on the pitch this season. Initially, muscular problems held him back, and then a persistent toe injury sidelined him in the fall. His record is correspondingly meager. In four appearances, he has only played 191 minutes on the field.

Due to numerous absences, the Frankfurt native is likely to improve his personal statistics on the last Bundesliga matchday of 2025. In the Borussia duel against Mönchengladbach (December 19, 8:30 p.m.), Süle is in line for a spot in the starting eleven.

Long Injury List

The personnel situation in the black and yellow defense is extremely tense. Waldemar Anton (29) and Aarón Anselmino (20), who will likely have to return to Chelsea FC at the end of this season, have both been ruled out due to thigh injuries. Youngster Filippo Mane (20) is ill and therefore not an option. Reliable Ramy Bensebaini (30) has left for the Africa Cup of Nations. Besides Süle, BVB coach only has Nico Schlotterbeck (26) and Emre Can (31) available for the central defense. The three-man backline in Dortmund’s central defense thus practically selects itself.

For Süle, the match against Mönchengladbach is a great opportunity to showcase himself and attract the attention of other clubs. According to information from the Bild newspaper, he apparently does not have a future with the Westphalians.

Although there is still no official statement from the club, the departure of the 30-year-old is said to be already a “done deal” internally, according to the tabloid. The top earner, with a reported annual salary of 14 million euros, will therefore not receive a new contract. Those responsible, including sporting director Sebastian Kehl (45), are already searching for a (more affordable) replacement for Süle.
