Bayern Munich have announced they will sign Hoffenheim duo Sebastian Rudy and Niklas Sule at the end of the season.
Hoffenheim are the only undefeated side in the Bundesliga and Rudy and Sule have been integral to their success this season.
Sule, 21, has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea this season and is regarded as one of the best young defenders emerging from Germany’s top flight.
However, Bayern have announced their usual raid of one of their rivals and will acquire both Sule and Rudy, who is out of contract this season, at the end of the season.
“We’re very satisfied and delighted Niklas Sule and Sebastian Rudy are joining us,” a statement read on Bayern’s official website. “Signing two Germany internationals is an investment in FC Bayern’s future.
“Sebastian Rudy joins us on a free transfer. In the case of Niklas Sule we have reached a fair and serious agreement with TSG Hoffenheim.”
Only Benjamin Hubner (2.9) has completed more tackles per game in the Bundesliga this season for Hoffenheim than Rudy (2.8), while only one other player have completed more passes in the defensive half of the pitch than Sule in the division (635).
