“Then Bayern go all in!”: Insider fuels Schlotterbeck rumours | OneFootball

After his strong performance in the classic match against FC Bayern, Nico Schlotterbeck became a major topic in the SPORT1 Doppelpass. The experts discussed his development, his prospects, and the question of whether he could soon become a candidate for the record champions.

The focus of the discussion was the athletic development of the 25-year-old. Schlotterbeck is now much more than just a talented defender, it was said. “Those opening passes, combined with those sexy tackles – that's what you just love as a fan,” raved podcaster Micky Beisenherz. The panel also recalled how error-prone the center-back was at the start of his national team career but emphasized that he has “significantly stabilized.”

Things got interesting when BILD chief reporter Tobias Altschäffl brought FC Bayern's perspective into play. According to him, everything hinges on the personnel of Dayot Upamecano. The Frenchman is on the verge of a possible contract extension with the Munich club – and it is precisely this that determines whether the record champions will actively pursue Schlotterbeck.

“Upamecano will be decisive in whether Bayern really enters the race or not,” explained Altschäffl. If the extension fails or a departure is on the table, the record champions could, according to Altschäffl, “go all-in” to acquire Schlotterbeck. A clear indication that the Dortmund defender is already on the radar internally.

The panel agreed that Schlotterbeck would fit excellently with FC Bayern in terms of sports. As a left-footed player with strong game initiation and good coordination with Jonathan Tah, he brings exactly the qualities that coach Vincent Kompany values. Additionally, his role as a German national player, familiar with the DFB axis around Neuer, Kimmich, and Musiala, adds to his appeal.

While Beisenherz believes Schlotterbeck will stay in Dortmund for “two more years,” Altschäffl hinted that the decision could be made in the coming weeks and months. If Upamecano leaves the club, the door for the BVB star might open sooner than expected.
