The longing for a more exciting Bundesliga is so great that a number of commentators erupted in celebration when Niklas Süle's decision to move from Bayern Munich to Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer was announced on Monday.

BVB proves that even after ten unsuccessful attempts to become German champions, they still believe in their chance at the title and are ready to "go to the limit financially," concluded the "Bild".

The "Kicker" celebrated a "coup" that "does the whole Bundesliga good", also because it shows that everything is by no means perfect for the seemingly unapproachable permanent champion from Munich.

Although Süle was appreciated by teammates such as Manuel Neuer and coach Julian Nagelsmann, he apparently would have liked more recognition from the men in the club management.

In the talks with the Dortmunders, he had the feeling "of being wanted as a person and as a footballer," said Süle.

"I was impressed by the way they looked after me, so I quickly knew where I would play in the future." He will certainly be one of his team's top earners in Dortmund.

In fact, this player change has a different impact than previous player changes from Munich to BVB.

Mario Götze and Mats Hummels were no longer among the hard-to-replace regular players at Säbener Straße, while Süle is a player who will be missing.

Leave something lasting

In the current year he was almost always in the starting XI when he was healthy, but he is now looking for a new challenge.

The native of Frankfurt has won everything a club can win with FC Bayern, but he was never one of the biggest stars who were showered with love and admiration.

It would probably be different in Dortmund, especially since titles in Revier should generally feel more intense, at least that's what Hummels once said.

In Dortmund, Süle has the chance to leave a lasting legacy.

"Niklas showed us in the personal talks that he is very interested in Borussia Dortmund," said Sebastian Kehl, the future sports director of BVB.

"He has a lot of experience, is calm in the build-up game and has the necessary physique to take the next step with us." However, it is unlikely that this change of a national player from hegemon to pursuer will change the sporting balance of power between the two largest German clubs .

Because the Dortmund defense puzzle, which has rarely resulted in a coherent overall picture this season, remains complicated.

Possible replacement for Akanji

It is conceivable that Süle will gradually take over the role of the aging Mats Hummels, whose body is having increasing difficulties withstanding the demands of the Bundesliga.

The idea of ​​a central defense with Süle and Manuel Akanji, who has become the head of defence, must be attractive for Marco Rose.

The aggressive pressing football that the coach has in mind is more likely to be played with fast central defenders than with a player like Hummels, who acts more with an eye than with speed.

But this variant is unlikely.

Akanji's contract ends in 2023 and has not yet been renewed.

In addition, the Swiss reacts sensitively when a well-known player disputes his high position in the team hierarchy.

After Hummels' arrival, the defender, injured in his pride, temporarily left the team council.

In addition, BVB can probably only take a larger transfer fee next summer with a sale of the Swiss, speculation is about a sum of around 30 million euros.

It is possible that Süle will replace Akanji, which seems economically attractive, but the overall gain in quality for Dortmund would be rather manageable.

In any case, the Dortmund squad remains a construction site even after this coup, where a lot will happen in the coming months.
