"A series of internal issues and his refusal to renew a contract that runs until 2027 have all but guaranteed his departure. Several clubs have shown strong interest in the defender, with Barcelona among the main candidates to secure his services. Schlotterbeck's arrival would represent a significant boost in a key position for Barcelona, although it will not be straightforward, given the intense competition for his services."
"Moreover, according to BILD (h/t SPORT), Borussia Dortmund are seeking an offer of at least €70 million for Schlotterbeck amid growing interest. Indeed, apart from Barcelona, Real Madrid have also fully entered into the race to sign the German international in the summer. Reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are also interested in the 26-year-old established defender. As such, the Black and Yellows are seeking at least €70 million for the sale of the German international in the summer of 2026."
Nico Schlotterbeck is expected to leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season after internal issues and his refusal to renew a contract through 2027. Multiple top clubs, including Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, have shown strong interest in the 26-year-old centre-back. Barcelona seek a left-sided centre-back after Inigo Martinez's departure, but face competition and economic restrictions. Borussia Dortmund demand at least €70 million for Schlotterbeck to secure the best possible fee. Financial constraints and the need to reinforce the No. 9 position further complicate Barcelona's chances.
