Niklas Süle hangs up his boots: A Buddhist monk helped the defender call time on his career

Niklas Süle revealed that working alongside a Buddhist monk pushed him to step away from the game. The mentor put together a detailed 50-page personality analysis of the player—without even knowing him personally before they started working together.

Reading through the deep dive prompted the German defender to rethink his priorities in life and realize that his chapter in professional football had run its course. Over his career, Süle lifted the Champions League trophy and racked up numerous Bundesliga titles.

For EA SPORTS FC players, this signals the exit of one of the most physical and dominant center-backs of recent years—his card won't be featured in future installments of the football sim.
