Overview
- Goal reports Dortmund have tabled a lucrative renewal through 2030 and want clarity on Nico Schlotterbeck’s choice by the end of January.
- TeamTalk, echoed by Yahoo, says initial talks have taken place with the defender’s representatives, including contact from Liverpool, for a potential 2026 transfer.
- A SPORT BILD line cited by Yahoo states Liverpool do not currently view Schlotterbeck as a top priority despite discussions, tempering expectations of an imminent bid.
- Sky-linked reporting via Yahoo and Goal indicates Barcelona are tracking the centre-back but have mixed internal evaluations, and Hansi Flick is not pushing for a swift move.
- Goal adds the player is said to prefer Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, and with his Dortmund deal running to 2027, any move would likely command a significant fee.
