Overview

• Borussia Dortmund has presented a contract extension through 2030 that would lift Nico Schlotterbeck’s base pay by roughly €2.5 million to at least €8 million per year.
• The deal is heavily incentive‑based, with point and appearance bonuses that could add around €1 million annually.
• There is no decision deadline, and Dortmund hopes to make the Germany international a long‑term leader and potential future captain.
• Schlotterbeck is not rushing a decision, signaling he will first assess the team’s development before committing.
• Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are reported to be monitoring the situation, with Sky’s Florian Plettenberg indicating Bayern could act in 2026, while the player’s current contract runs to 2027.
