With one year remaining on his contract, Augsburg are reportedly set to receive a transfer fee of €3.85 million, plus a potential €650,000 in bonuses.

The 29-year-old was previously linked with VfL Wolfsburg but apparently turned down a move to Die Wölfe. Now, a move to England appears to be on the cards instead.

Schlotterbeck joined Augsburg from Freiburg for a reported €2.5 million fee in the summer of 2024.

He lost his place in the starting lineup towards the end of last season, making a total of 26 appearances in all competitions through the 2025/26 campaign.
