Is Nico Schlotterbeck heading to Bayern Munich? “My goal is to win a championship in Germany.”

Speaking on Amazon Prime DE, Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck spoke about his ambition to win the Bundesliga. With no sign of a contract extension with BVB, do the centreback’s comments point to a move to Bayern Munich?

“My goal is to win a championship in Germany”, explained Schlotterbeck.

The German international went on to discuss missed opportunities during his time in the famous Yellow Balck jerseys at Dortmund:

“We were close. The Champions League is very difficult to win; we were close there, too. I was also close in the DFB Cup. As a professional footballer, I’ve only won the U21 European Championship. I want to finally hold something in my hands.”

This doesn’t make for good reading for those of a BVB persuasion. The club have been knocked out of this year’s DFB Pokal and are currently nine points behind Bayern in the Bundesliga title race. Though they’re still in the Champions League, they are by no means one of the favourites.

For Bayern Munich, this is a great signal that the 26-year-old is open to moving to Bayern in order to finally get his hands on silverware.

However, they’ll also have to compete with other European heavyweights, such as Real Madrid.

However, it has previously been reported that die Schwarzgelben would be happy to lose Schlotterbeck on a free transfer in 2027, when his contract expires, rather than sell him. If they are forced to sell him, then Dortmund will demand at least €70m for the defender.
