"Even with Dayot Upamecano set to extend his contract, a potential move for Nico Schlotterbeck is not automatically off the table. Firstly, because Bayern are still internally discussing the future of Kim Min-jae. Secondly, it is said that Bayern are also considering Schlotterbeck on a free transfer in 2027 should he decide to go into the final year of his Dortmund contract."
"In case of a sale in the coming summer, BVB will not accept less than €50m, and would also prefer to sell Schlotterbeck abroad. Real Madrid are interested. Despite a recent meeting with Dortmund bosses, Schlotterbeck is still playing for time and refusing to commit to a new deal. It feels like a longshot that Schlotterbeck would play through a "lame duck" season at BVB in 2026/27, but it is not impossible."
Bayern Munich continues to consider Nico Schlotterbeck despite the likelihood of a Dayot Upamecano contract extension. Club uncertainty over Kim Min-jae's long-term role keeps defensive planning fluid. Bayern is reportedly open to waiting for a free Schlotterbeck transfer in 2027 if he declines to renew with Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund would demand at least €50m for a summer sale and prefers an overseas destination, with Real Madrid showing interest. Schlotterbeck has resisted committing to a new deal and is reportedly playing for time. A Kim Min-jae sale would free funds and increase Bayern's ability to make a competitive bid in 2026.
