Sport director Max Eberl says extending Dayot Upamecano is the priority, with reported interest in Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck not yet involving formal contact.

Overview

  • Max Eberl reiterated that renewing Dayot Upamecano is Bayern’s top issue and said the club would only scan the market if that situation changes.
  • Multiple reports link Nico Schlotterbeck as a potential summer target for Bayern, with Sky reporting documented interest but no direct approach to Borussia Dortmund.
  • Niko Kovac and BVB executive Lars Ricken emphasized Schlotterbeck’s current commitment and said there is no need to rush decisions on his future.
  • Schlotterbeck’s contract runs to 2027, while Upamecano’s expires in 2026, a timeline that shapes any transfer logic and potential fees.
  • Lothar Matthäus urged Bayern to move for Schlotterbeck if Upamecano does not extend, while Tobias Schweinsteiger suggested the rumors are largely media-driven and that staying in Dortmund is plausible.
