Nico Schlotterbeck Delays Dortmund Extension as Bayern and Liverpool Monitor

The defender is reported to be unhappy with coach Niko Kovač’s pragmatic approach.

Overview

  • Schlotterbeck has not agreed to an immediate renewal and says he will first meet sporting director Sebastian Kehl to discuss his future.
  • Borussia Dortmund have prepared a proposed extension to 2030 worth roughly €8 million per year plus bonuses, according to Bild.
  • CEO Lars Ricken says the club respects the player’s deliberation but will not wait indefinitely for a decision.
  • Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Real Madrid are reported to be tracking the situation, with Bayern’s plans linked to the futures of Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae.
  • The centre-back remains under contract until 2027, and Dortmund want clarity by season’s end to preserve their negotiating position.
