• Bild, via Get German Football News, says Schlotterbeck wants a guaranteed €10 million in his new deal and has indicated an extension is not coming soon.
• The defender is also seeking signs of a title-challenging project before committing, with Real Madrid among the clubs monitoring his situation.
• Dortmund are pushing for a longer contract reportedly through 2030, with his current deal running to 2027 and a likely sale in summer 2026 if he declines.
• Upamecano’s contract expires at the end of this season with talks unresolved, and Lothar Matthäus has urged Bayern to target Schlotterbeck as his successor.
