Schlotterbeck to Bayern? Ex-boss Salihamidzic gives his view | OneFootball

The rumors about a possible transfer of Nico Schlotterbeck to FC Bayern persistently linger – now former sports director Hasan Salihamidzic has also commented on the matter.

The former Bayern boss was cautious regarding a potential signing of the national player. "The bosses in Munich will handle it correctly and manage the upcoming transfer periods well – they have done so this year too," said Salihamidzic on Sunday evening on the sidelines of the Kings League in a conversation with SPORT1. When asked if he would have targeted Schlotterbeck himself as a responsible party, the 48-year-old dodged: "Everything else is no longer my job."

The Borussia Dortmund center-back is under contract with BVB until 2027. Dortmund is currently striving for an early extension to prevent a possible departure. Besides FC Bayern, FC Liverpool has also recently shown interest in the national player.

At FC Bayern, the defense for the upcoming season is one of the central topics. The future of Dayot Upamecano and Minjae Kim is considered open, which is why Schlotterbeck is reportedly on Munich's watch list according to several media reports.

Salihamidzic praises Bayern star Kane

Meanwhile, Salihamidzic spoke positively about the current condition of his former club: "Now we hope that everyone stays fit and the injured players Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and Josip Stanisic slowly return, so that FC Bayern remains in top form during the crucial phases in January, February, and March."

The former official was particularly impressed by Harry Kane. "He is a seasoned man, plays outstandingly, is found everywhere on the pitch, and seemingly converts every shot. That's why he is world-class. Everyone who claimed Kane cost too much was wrong," praised Salihamidzic.

The Englishman, who scored again in the 2-1 victory against Dortmund, now stands at twelve goals in seven Bundesliga matches. For Salihamidzic, Kane is the decisive factor this season: "He is the best striker in the world. If he stays healthy, FC Bayern has the chance to win many titles this season."
