Hoffenheim chief Alexander Rosen denies Niklas Sule is on his way to Bayern Munich.
The young stopper has been linked with Chelsea and Liverpool ahead of the January market.
However, it's been claimed Bayern have deals for Sule and teammate Sebastian Rudy.
But Rosen says: "We are all aware of the fact that sooner or later all the players want to make a step forward.
"Sooner or later someone like Sule will have to leave, we will see if it is in summer or in two years. All major European clubs are on him and who is not following him is a fool."
