Laliga giants Real Madrid are set to sign Bayern Munich defender Niklas Sule in the summer.
Sport claims that Los Blancos have identified the German center-back as one of their targets for the summer transfer window where he will be a free agent after refusing to sign a new deal at the Bundesliga club.
The 26-year-old German has been a rock at the back for the Munich giants during this campaign but lack of proper game time is said to be the reason why he is quitting the club when his contract ends in June.

The player has been involved in 25 matches for the German outfit this season where he has chipped in with one assist but Madrid feels he will be the right man for them following the success story of David Alaba who joined them last summer on a free from the Bundesliga giants.
Madrid is trying to rebuild their defense following the departure of long-term partners Sergio Ramos who moved to PSG and Raphael Varane who is currently with Manchester United.
