"Bayern Munich's defensive line is good, yet the center-backs aren't set long term...or are they? Dayot Upamecano's contract will be signed soon and Kim Min-jae is adamant on staying, insisting he is cool with being a bench player. Hiroki Itō is back, and he and Josip Stanišić can cover for Upamecano and Jonathan Tah. So, what does that mean for the Bavarians' interest in Nico Schlotterbeck?"
"That means, the Borussia Dortmund defender isn't being prioritized (Sport Bild's Christian Falk as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia) but it could change if Kim suddenly changes his mind and asks for a transfer."
"Marc Guéhi is still on the list if he doesn't transfer clubs this window and leaves Crystal Palace on a free in the summer. On the other hand, all signs are pointing to Schlotterbeck leaving Die Schwarzgelben if a compromise isn't reached, with a host of Europe's top clubs after him. His contract ends in 2027."
Dayot Upamecano is set to sign a contract soon and Kim Min‑jae has stated he will remain at the club and accept a bench role. Hiroki Itō has returned and, along with Josip Stanišić, can provide cover for Upamecano and Jonathan Tah. Bayern Munich is therefore not prioritizing a move for Nico Schlotterbeck, although that could change if Kim requests a transfer. Marc Guéhi remains a potential option if he leaves Crystal Palace on a free this summer. Schlotterbeck looks likely to depart Borussia Dortmund if no compromise is reached, and his contract runs until 2027.
