"All in!" Expert urges Bayern to go on the attack for Schlotterbeck | OneFootball

FC Bayern might soon be looking to make a move in the transfer market with Borussia Dortmund. According to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, Munich should seriously pursue Nico Schlotterbeck—especially if Dayot Upamecano leaves the club.

In „At Broski – The Sports Show“, Plettenberg called for clear actions from Bayern's management: “Nico Schlotterbeck would be absolutely ready for FC Bayern—and they need to fully engage with him now. If Dayot Upamecano leaves the club, Bayern will be involved in this matter. They need to do their homework now: call, inquire, express interest.”

The transfer expert does not expect Upamecano to extend his contract, which runs until 2026: “As of today, I don't see an extension with Upamecano.”

According to Plettenberg, the Dortmund center-back would be an ideal reinforcement for Munich's defense. Schlotterbeck has developed tremendously in recent years: “In his first five international matches, he caused four penalties—he was a danger to himself and others. That's over now. For me, Schlotterbeck is currently the best German center-back—at least when he's fit. And Bayern knows this very well.”

The 25-year-old, whose contract with BVB runs until 2027, is reportedly in the form of his life, according to Plettenberg. At FC Bayern, he would fit not only athletically but also character-wise into coach Vincent Kompany's concept—strong in play, secure in duels, and with leadership qualities.

Since the talks about a contract extension between Schlotterbeck and Dortmund are progressing slowly, an ideal window of opportunity could open for the German record champion. Munich has been closely following the development of the national player for years.
