Overview

• Sportbild reports Borussia Dortmund has offered a new contract through 2030 with a base salary of at least €8 million and up to €1 million in performance bonuses.
• Schlotterbeck has said he will not extend this early, signaling a deliberate approach to his next step.
• His current deal runs to 2027, creating a likely decision point in summer 2026 if Dortmund seeks a fee rather than risk a later free transfer.
• Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are tracking the situation, and Sky’s Florian Plettenberg reports Bayern would be ready to act if the player is on the market in 2026.
• Bayern’s stance is influenced by Dayot Upamecano’s unresolved contract talks, while Dortmund views Schlotterbeck as a long-term leader and potential future captain.
