Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool ‘monitoring’ Nico Schlotterbeck | OneFootball

According to BuLi News, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona are monitoring Borussia Dortmund centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck, with the trio viewing him as a long-term defensive option.

The 26-year-old was strongly linked with a move earlier this year, then signed a new contract to 2031. The deal reportedly includes a clause allowing a summer exit to a select group of clubs for €50-60 million.

A serious ankle injury during Germany’s second World Cup game against Côte d’Ivoire cooled talk of a swift departure.

Schlotterbeck returned to action against Paderborn on 12 September. Now fully fit, discussion around his future has restarted.

It is suggested the release clause becomes active again in summer 2027, so speculation is likely to intensify as the season progresses.
