Borussia Dortmund reach breakthrough in Schlotterbeck contract talks

If everything goes according to plan, Schlotterbeck will extend his contract from 2027 until 2031.

The new deal would see the centre-back earn up to €14 million per year, including bonuses, and would include a €60 million release clause, which would come into effect from 2027 onwards.

New Dortmund sporting director Nils-Ole Book is reportedly waiting for Schlotterbeck’s final commitment, with the club hoping to announce the long-awaited completion of the contract extension in early April.
