Kahn said that “a very good offer” was made to the 26-year-old (who has played 37 games for Germany) but that his club must “respect certain financial limits”.
The specialized website Transfermarkt estimates the value of Sule at 35 million euros (about US$ 39.5 million). The player joined Bayern in 2017 from Hoffenheim for around €20 million ($22.5 million).
So far he has played 158 games for the defending German champions.
