Bayern Munich reach transfer agreement with Hoffenheim’s Niklas Süle

That whole temporary not enough centerbacks issue at Bayern Munich? That’s solved. Bayern Munich and Niklas Sule have reportedly agreed to terms that will see the 21-year-old centerback join the club this summer.

BILD reports that Sule has agreed to a 5-year contract while Hoffenheim has accepted a €20M transfer fee. All that remains for both clubs is to dot the i’s and cross the t’s with a medical examination.

Sule has been regular contributor to the Hoffenheim first team for the past three seasons and has been a mainstay at every German youth level and has one senior team cap. He was a key part of the U23 squad that placed second in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He has appeared in 16 matches for TSG Hoffenheim this season and is a key reason why they currently sit 5th in the Bundesliga standings.

BILD also reports Sebastian Rudy will be joining Bayern Munich on a free transfer and signing a 3-year contract. As Rudy’s contract with Hoffenheim concludes at the end of this season, this is likely a summer move. This move should probably start being called the “Sebastian special”.
