"Bayern Munich are reportedly keeping tabs on Borussia Dortmund's Nico Schlotterbeck. According to Sky Germany, the Bavarians have "strong" interest in the centre-back, whom they were already tracking in 2022 when he moved from Freiburg to Dortmund. Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg claims that if an opportunity arises to sign Schlotterbeck in 2026, "Bayern will be there.""
"Bayern and Real Madrid are possible destinations for Nico Schlotterbeck should he decide to leave Borussia Dortmund. The German international's contract expires in 2027. BVB are offering him a new deal until 2030, but Schlotterbeck is playing for time. He wants to become one of the top earners in Dortmund with more than €10m gross per year - and at the same time, he's aware that the doors to major clubs could open up next summer."
"Real Madrid are also a topic, especially with the uncertainty around Rüdiger and Alaba. BVB want quick clarity, but Schlotterbeck has no reason to rush. He knows he has the upper hand. Borussia Dortmund is expected to make a strong play to keep Schlotterbeck and FC Barcelona is also rumored to be very interested in the defender as well. Should Bayern Munich fail to work out a deal with Dayot Upamecano, Schlotterbeck could come further into focus for the Bavarians."
Bayern Munich have strong interest in Nico Schlotterbeck and monitored him in 2022 when he moved from Freiburg to Borussia Dortmund. The club would pursue a signing in 2026 if an opportunity arises. Real Madrid are also potential suitors, particularly amid uncertainty around Rüdiger and Alaba. Schlotterbeck's contract runs until 2027 and Borussia Dortmund are offering an extension until 2030. Schlotterbeck is delaying a decision while seeking more than €10m gross per year and assessing options. Borussia Dortmund plan to make a concerted effort to retain him. FC Barcelona also shows significant interest. Bayern could target him if Dayot Upamecano talks falter. Bayern recently won 3-0 over Eintracht Frankfurt and entered the international break celebrating Oktoberfest.
