The Bayern Day in the Ticker: Here, FCBinside offers you a compact overview of what's happening at FC Bayern. The most important news, information, and transfer rumors of the day surrounding the record champion. And the opportunity for you to discuss the latest developments in the comments section. Monday, October 20 – let's get started!
Nico Schlotterbeck is considered a transfer candidate at FC Bayern. At BVB, the national player's contract runs until 2027. For Dortmund, the summer of 2026 would be the last opportunity to achieve a high transfer fee. An extension currently does not seem in sight – and that is precisely what's causing discussions.
Former professional Steffen Freund explained on Sky90: "Now he's checking the market. I'm quite sure that he won't extend with Borussia Dortmund relatively quickly now. And that, in my view, increases the likelihood that he will leave."
Dietmar Hamann also believes in an imminent departure: "Schlotterbeck can choose his club next summer. I don't see any reason why he should extend. The path will probably lead elsewhere next summer – that's what I assume."
Thomas Helmer agreed with his colleagues and brought other names into play: "Whether it's Bayern, the Premier League, Barcelona, or Real Madrid, who knows. Why should he extend? No. The perspective in Dortmund is not like at other clubs."
Many top clubs are looking for reinforcements in defense. Particularly one name is currently causing a stir across Europe. A star from Real Madrid apparently wants to help decide where the journey for the sought-after central defender goes. The information is available here.

FC Bayern is considering extending the contract with Harry Kane prematurely. The English superstar has been playing in world-class form for weeks – but from the perspective of Sky expert Didi Hamann, an extension at this point would be completely rushed. His statements are available here.
