"Nico Schlotterbeck said before that he wanted to win titles. When he signs autographs in future, he wants to be able to say that he's won titles. Now, with Dortmund only six points behind Bayern in the title race, he's said that the club have to be talking itself up as a potential champion of Germany. If not Dortmund, who else instead of Bayern? So, I think it's in Dortmund's interests to encourage rather than downplay his personal ambition."
"Dayot Upamecano has signed a new contract at Bayern, so that's one less exit route open for Schlotterbeck. He would like to move to FC Bayern. It's a difficult situation for him. He has to decide, by the end of the season, whether he's going to extend his contract at the Signal Iduna Park. I think Dortmund very much need this winning mentality - the belief that they can be the German champions. They have to!"
Dayot Upamecano has signed a new contract at Bayern, reducing Bayern's need to pursue alternatives such as Nico Schlotterbeck. Schlotterbeck has expressed a desire to win titles and faces a decision by season's end about extending his contract at Signal Iduna Park. Dortmund sit six points behind Bayern and need to foster a winning mentality to convince Schlotterbeck to stay. Kim Min-jae has been left out of a squad and has struggled to reclaim a starting role, highlighting the form of Upamecano and Jonathan Tah. Inter Milan and MLS clubs are reported to be interested in Weston McKennie, who has been a consistent starter for Juventus under Luciano Spalletti, and Juventus seek to secure his commitment beyond his contract that runs out in June.
