Niklas Süle (born 3 September 1995) is a German professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Borussia Dortmund and the Germany national team.
Born to a Hungarian father and German mother in Frankfurt, Süle started his career with local side with Rot-Weiß Walldorf. In 2006, he signed for the youth team of Eintracht Frankfurt and three years later, Süle joined SV Darmstadt 98 youth team, where he only stayed for only half a year. After that, he joined 1899 Hoffenheim in 2010. He made his professional debut in a Bundesliga match against Hamburger SV on 11 May 2013 at the age of 17.
Süle quickly established himself as the important player for Hoffenheim in his second season with the team. In the 2014–15 season, he played every minute for the team, before he suffered ACL injury in the match against Eintracht Frankfurt on 12 December 2014. Therefore, Süle was sidelined for the rest of season. He came back stronger for the next two seasons, before Bayern Munich announced that they had signed Süle alongside Sebastian Rudy from Hoffenheim on 15 January 2017. In his last season with Hoffenheim, he helped the team to reach 4th position and qualify for European football, first time in the club's history. He made a total of 116 appearances and 8 goals for Hoffenheim.
Süle officially joined Bayern Munich on 1 July 2017. He made his first appearance for Bayern in an opening match of the 2017–18 Bundesliga against Bayer Leverkusen, where he scored first goal of the season to help the Bavarians won the match 3–1. He became the first-choice in Bayern's defense since then. In the 2019–20 season he tore his anterior cruciate ligament which made him out for the rest of the season. With Bayern, he won fourteen major titles, including five league titles and an UEFA Champions League title. After 5 years of playing for the Bavarians, he moved to arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer.
Süle has represented Germany at several youth levels. He received his first call-up to the senior squad for friendlies against Finland and Norway. His international debut saw him starting for Germany in the match against Finland on 1 September 2016. He was part of Germany's squad in the 2016 Summer Olympics, 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and 2018 FIFA World Cup.
