Schlotterbeck to Bayern? Tah says: "If he needs advice, I’m here!" | OneFootball

FC Bayern is repeatedly linked with a potential signing of Nico Schlotterbeck. The Borussia Dortmund center-back could leave BVB in the summer of 2026—and is already considered one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe.

While Dortmund is currently working hard on a contract extension, the 25-year-old is taking his time with his decision. Schlotterbeck is on the wish lists of numerous top clubs—including FC Bayern, FC Barcelona, and several Premier League teams.

Tah praises Schlotterbeck

On Wednesday, Bayern defender Jonathan Tah commented during a DFB press conference on the ongoing transfer rumors surrounding his national team colleague. “We haven’t talked about it. It’s an exciting situation for Nico. He’s an outstanding player who always works on himself and wants to get better,” Tah praised the Dortmund player.

The 28-year-old sees Schlotterbeck in a crucial phase of his career and even offered him support: “I hope he makes the right decision. All doors are open for him. If he needs advice, I’m always there!”

According to consistent reports from BILD and Sky, Bayern has been closely monitoring Schlotterbeck for years. Should Dayot Upamecano decide against a contract extension and leave the club, Schlotterbeck could become the top option for the center-back position.

In Munich, his football intelligence, tackling strength, and ability to build play from the back are especially valued—qualities that perfectly fit Vincent Kompany’s style.

In any case, Tah is convinced: Schlotterbeck has the potential to succeed at FC Bayern as well.
