"Dortmund's managing director, Lars Ricken, has made the club's stance clear, issuing a warning through BILD (h/t SPORT): "We won't rush into anything. But, of course, we don't want to drag this out indefinitely, everyone knows that." The Black and Yellows have been understanding of Schlotterbeck's position, particularly as he has been recovering from a serious knee injury, but believe it is now time to define his long-term plans."
"Schlotterbeck recently stated that renewal talks are not a current priority, leaving Dortmund aware that clubs such as Barcelona and Bayern Munich have already approached his entourage to explore the possibility of signing him. Dortmund have presented Schlotterbeck with an offer that would double his current salary, structured through a fixed base and performance-related bonuses, potentially rising to €8 million per season."
Nico Schlotterbeck is a left-footed centre-back attracting interest from FC Barcelona after Inigo Martinez's departure. His Dortmund contract runs until 2027 and he has shown reluctance to renew while recovering from a serious knee injury. Borussia Dortmund are increasingly uneasy and have communicated a desire to settle his long-term plans, with managing director Lars Ricken warning against indefinite delays. Dortmund have offered a deal that could double his salary through base pay and performance bonuses to around €8 million per season. Clubs including Barcelona and Bayern Munich have approached his entourage, and Dortmund aim to resolve the situation before January. Schlotterbeck's ball-playing, positional intelligence, and strong personality are cited as an ideal fit for Barcelona.
