Nicklas Jules, who had a controversy over weight, has already started dieting and is achieving results.
Sportr Bild, Germany, said on the 10th (Korea time) 'Over the past few days, many leaders of Borussia Dortmund have been asked exactly what Jules' salary is. Jules receives 14 million euros (about 20.9 billion won) annually. "He is definitely one of the highest paid players in Dortmund, but he has played too few matches, mainly because of his physical condition,' he reported.
Jules' physical condition was controversial from the second half of the 2023-2024 season. Jules is originally a key defender for Dortmund. He is a center back who is so influential in the team that he served as the captain's armband during the season. Jules, who was key to Dortmund until the 2022-2023 season, began to be pushed out of the starting lineup in the second half of last season.
Instead of Jules, Niko Schlotterbeck and Mats Hummels started playing more hours. Dortmund went all-in to the European Champions League (UCL) tournament in the second half of the year, and Jules had little presence in the process. The reason was overweight.
At the end of the season, Sport Bild added 'Dortmund's relationship with Jules is getting harder and harder. Jules has been in remarkably bad health in recent months and reportedly weighed more than 110kg. It was reported that the ideal weight of Jules found inside Dortmund is about 100kg.
Jules was strongly criticized by Dortmund fans for not taking care of his body even before the UCL final, which is a stage that all soccer players dream of. Professional physical care is essential for the most expensive player on the team, but Jules has let go of his duty as a professional.

Eventually, after the season was over, Dortmund's leaders called Jules to deliver the diet program with concerns about his physical condition. Fortunately, Jules realized his fault and was found to be on a diet with strong intensity even before entering pre-season training.
Sport Bild said 'People close to Zule were told that the player was enthusiastic about changing the manager. For Dortmund, coach Edin Terzic stepped down and Nuri Sahin was appointed. Jules explained that he felt that Sahin would show more trust in him, which motivated him.
Then 'Jule is said to have already lost 8kg of weight. It's very hopeful. Dortmund have heard that Jules is doing beyond what the club demanded. Jules wants to show everyone his skills again. An athlete's ideal weight is about 100 kilograms,' he added.
Jules was once such a promising defender that he played for Bayern Munich and the German national team. You will have to work harder on a bleeding diet next season to repay the disappointment you caused your fans last season.
