"Uli Hoeneß has been a big fan of Nico Schlotterbeck for years and would love to see him at FC Bayern. Even during Schlotterbeck's move from Freiburg to Dortmund in 2022, Hoeneß reportedly tried to lure him to Munich until the last minute. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge rates Schlotterbeck highly as well. Both see the defender as a player with Bayern potential, a leader who sets an example on the pitch and in the dressing room, is a regular starter for the national team and is ambitious, which is 'Bayern-like'."
"The fact Schlotterbeck will not end up in Munich this summer is more due to Max Eberl, who is not completely convinced and therefore decided to go all-in with the new contract of Dayot Upamecano."
"Schlotterbeck is still waiting before making his decision over the new Dortmund contract. If he stays at BVB next season and becomes a free agent in 2027, then a door to Bayern might open up again."
Bayern Munich supervisory board members Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge have long admired Nico Schlotterbeck and attempted to sign him from Freiburg to Dortmund in 2022. Both executives view Schlotterbeck as a leader with Bayern potential, a regular German national team starter, and an ambitious player fitting the club's profile. However, Max Eberl, Bayern's board member for sport, decided against pursuing Schlotterbeck this summer, instead committing to extending Dayot Upamecano's contract. Upamecano's new deal reportedly includes a short-term release clause with a low fee. Bayern could revisit Schlotterbeck in 2027 if he becomes a free agent after his Dortmund contract expires, though Liverpool and Real Madrid have also shown interest.
