Bayern Munich are eyeing a move for Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen after Niklas Sule rejected an offer to extend his contract.
GOAL and Spox can confirm centre-back Sule will leave the German giants this summer when his contract expires, despite Bayern’s offer to raise his salary to €10 million.
Sule is flirting with a move to the Premier League and La Liga and can enter negotiations with other clubs this month before making a free transfer at the end of the season.
Newcastle and Chelsea are reportedly sounding out the German defender, but Sport1 has reported he is not interested in joining the former.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are also said to be interested in signing the 26-year-old as they look to strengthen in defence.
Bayern president Herbert Hainer said on Sunday that negotiations with Sule are still going on, telling Sky: "We made Niklas an offer. Now it's up to him to accept it or not. Of course it has to be within a certain period of time, because then we have to position ourselves accordingly.
“I don't know the exact date now, but that will certainly be so far in the foreseeable future that he will confess or just say what his wishes are. And then we will talk to him.”
But Sule looks set to become the fourth player to leave the club on a free transfer within the last year, following the examples of David Alaba, Jerome Boateng and Javi Martinez.
GOAL and SPOX understand Christensen is one of the contenders Bayern will turn to in their search for a replacement.
Like Sule, Christensen can make a free transfer in the summer when his contract expires.
Chelsea have been trying to tie him to an extension and a new four-year deal looked imminent last year, but talks have been fraught with problems.
Coach Thomas Tuchel urged him to show his commitment to the club by signing on the dotted line, telling reporters in December: "We are waiting since a long time now for confirmation.
“It is on Andreas to act how he acts on the pitch, he needs to act now off the pitch, and walk the talk because he tells us that he loves Chelsea, he tells us that he wants to stay and be a big part, because he is a big part of a big club, and I think he is a perfect fit and I think that he is not done yet here.”

True. It’s obvious that they are better than the German and our opinion is useless in this case.

That is your personal opinion and my personal opinion is Alaba and Militão right now are better than him.
This is not about personal opinion. There are things that are so obvious that even your opinion will be useless and this is one of them

Alaba and Militão are better than Rudiger right now. They are surely are among top 5 defenders of the world right now and that’s one of the reasons why Madrid is doing well despite losing their center back Ramos-Varane without signing any new attackers.

What? No way They might be very key for your team. But Rüdiger is top 5 in the world right now He has been consistent since last year. Very very solid and good on the ball. Is not a matter of opinion is just acknowledgement to his massive step-up as a fan. I am not a Chelsea fan by the way. Militao is good but not near Rüdiger's level. Neither is Alaba.
