BVB make offer for Nico Schlotterbeck, strong interest from Bayern Munich | OneFootball

After only four mandatory games in the jersey of Borussia Dortmund following a six-month injury break, Nico Schlotterbeck is also on the verge of making his comeback to the German national team. The fact that national coach Julian Nagelsmann has called up the 25-year-old central defender so quickly speaks for the quality of Schlotterbeck, which is of course also known at BVB and therefore everything is being done to bring about the targeted long-term cooperation.

Last week, Schlotterbeck himself openly stated that a decision regarding an extension of his contract with BVB, which is still dated until June 30, 2027, is unlikely to be made in the near future, but the Dortmund officials are nevertheless stepping on the gas.

According to information from "Sky", there is now a ready-to-sign offer from Borussia, which envisages Schlotterbeck's rise to a top earner with a salary of about ten million euros per year and a commitment until 2030.

Schlotterbeck as potential Upamecano successor?

However, the Dortmund crowd's favorite is still hesitating, who is supposed to become the face of the club for years to come according to BVB's plans. On the one hand, because Schlotterbeck first wants to see a sustainably positive development and the chance to regularly compete for titles in Dortmund. On the other hand, because the 20-times A-international player probably also has attractive other options.

After initial speculations about an interest from FC Bayern Munich, "Sky" now also reports that the record champion has shown strong interest in Schlotterbeck. Especially in the event that Dayot Upamecano should reject an extension of his contract expiring at the end of the season, Bayern would bring in at least one high-profile central defender.

There was contact between Bayern and Schlotterbeck years ago, which according to "Sky" apparently never broke off despite changing officials in Munich. Just before the German Clasico between Bayern and BVB on October 18, the topic now seems to be heating up again - and causing unrest in Dortmund.
