Barcelona Set To Move For Bayern Munich Defender

Barcelona are moving for Bayern Munich defender Niklas Sule.

The Germany international comes off contract at the end of the season and talks over a new deal have failed to progress.

BILD's Christian Falk reports Barca have now come forward to hold talks with Sule about a Bosman switch this summer.

The Catalans face competition, however, from England where Newcastle United are also in contact.

For his part, Sule is now leaning towards leaving Bayern and Germany at the end of the season.

Sule joined Bayern Munich from Hoffeinheim in 2017 and he has made over 100 appearances for the Bavarians.

Barcelona have already snapped up Torres from Manchester City.
