Overview
- Liverpool have held off a January approach for Nico Schlotterbeck, with Bild reporting he is not a top priority for the window.
- Multiple outlets in Germany report the defender has declined a new Borussia Dortmund deal, though his contract still runs to June 2027.
- Dortmund value Schlotterbeck at about €40 million and senior figures Nico Kovac and Sebastian Kehl have publicly urged him to stay.
- Uli Hoeneß is said to favor a Bayern Munich move, but any bid could hinge on Dayot Upamecano’s contract outcome after last summer’s signing of Jonathan Tah.
- Barcelona and Real Madrid are also linked, with Barcelona eyeing a left‑footed centre‑back option for next season.
