As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich centre-back Niklas Sule is set to leave the Bavarian giants. The 6.4 feet centre-back has been playing at the Allianz Arena for the past five years.
But now, due to a failure to find an agreement on his current contract, he is set to leave the club. This has already alarmed many Premier League clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United.
Most notably for Chelsea as they have been already struggling to find a solution for Antonio Rudiger’s contract issues. But for clubs like Manchester United, who will be happy to sign such a solid centre-back, the main question arises:
Could this be an excellent opportunity for Manchester United to sign the German defender?
Manchester United had great expectations early in the season that signing Raphael Varane from Real Madrid in the summer would fix their defensive troubles.

Many believed that the French defender, who had won the World Cup with France and four Champions League titles with Real Madrid, would come in and convert the club’s weak defence into one of the finest in the Premier League.
That has not been the case thus far, as Manchester United’s defence has continued to disappoint. Raphael Varane, on the other hand, has had his injury-related issues.
The French centre-back has been struggling for fitness and appears to be out of form at the moment. On the other side, concerns have been raised regarding the performances of players such as Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while Eric Bailly and Phil Jones’ futures remain uncertain.
As a result, Manchester United may use another defender, particularly a centre-back, and Bayern Munich’s Niklas Sule is someone they should be looking for.

While Sule has remained a crucial member of Bayern Munich’s squad, it appears that he will leave the club at the end of the season when his current contract expires. Bayern Munich reportedly sought to extend his contract, but no agreement was reached, and Sule is likely to leave the Bundesliga giants as a free agent in a few months.
The German centre-back may be a fantastic addition for Manchester United. This season, he has made 25 appearances for Bayern Munich. However, clubs such as Barcelona and Chelsea are rumoured to be interested as well.
Let’s see whether Manchester United are quick enough to make a move or Rangnick prefers to stick with his current options this season.
