Chelsea and Man United have been told that they have missed out on signing a defensive 'cornerstone' as Niklas Sule has decided to complete a move to Borussia Dortmund.
Sule, 26, was set to decide his future in the summer but recent media leaks have indicated that a decision on his future was imminent and a transfer to Dortmund is now on the cards, ending the speculation as the Blues now need to focus on other targets.
football.london understood that Chelsea have held a long interest in the German star. He was scouted six years ago when Antonio Conte wanted to re-shape and re-structure the defence in SW6 but he at the time, preferred a move to the Bavarians from Hoffenheim.
