AC Milan is considering Niklas Süle of Borussia Dortmund as one of the options to strengthen its central defense. However, at this stage, Milan's management is not completely convinced by any of the candidates on their shortlist, including Süle.

The Italian 'Gazzetta dello Sport' has named Niklas Süle as a winter transfer candidate for AC Milan, as the club wants to strengthen its central defence. According to BILD, a transfer is currently not imminent. The reasons given are that Milan cannot afford Süle's salary of up to 14 million euros per season and that other defenders are the focus. The German publication states that Süle's short-term future remains with BVB.

Niklas Sule, the German central defender under contract with Borussia Dortmund until June 2026, is a potential target for AC Milan's defense. Last season, Sule made 21 appearances across Bundesliga, Champions League, and the German Cup, totaling 1431 minutes of play. According to Sky, Sule, a former Bayern Munich player born in 1995, is being considered as part of Milan's strategy to blend experienced players with young talents in their new roster under Allegri and Tare. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 8.00 million euros.
