Although it’s only the end of September, for Chelsea and Bayern directors Marina Granovskaia and Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidzic it seems that it’s actually the end of December and the transfer window is near. Both European giants have the same issue – one good, and potentially free agent defender in their ranks. For Chelsea, it’s Antonio Rudiger, who still refuses to sign a contract extension, as he seeks to be among top 5 paid players in the club and for Bayern it’s Niklas Shule, who was near Bayern exit once already. The leaked Whatsapp messages revealed the player wanted to leave in 2019. Is a player swamp possible?Antonio Rudiger to become a rich man in January?Probably no, but the idea that they could sign each other’s player in June as a free agent is a possibility. One thing is clear – they both want to keep their players, but Granovskaia and Brazzo have to be prepared for the worst case scenario.

If someone from the big clubs would take me, let me know. Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, but preferably Man U” was the first message sent to his advisor in 2018. “Do you know anyone from Tottenham? I want to go to Tottenham, such a great club. London is a great city. Stadium and fans are brutal” wrote Sule in 2019. His agent then had several talks with Premier League clubs.

His path is good, he will take further steps” said Nagelsmann on Sunday, speaking of Sule.
