Nico Schlotterbeck’s Contract Situation at Borussia Dortmund Worsens

According to Bild, the contract situation concerning Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck is becoming increasingly precarious for the club.

Schlotterbeck has previously declined an offer to extend his contract, which is currently set to expire in 2027. This refusal raises concerns about Dortmund’s ability to retain their star defender.

The 25-year-old is reportedly dissatisfied with the current dynamics at the club, particularly regarding the style of play under head coach Niko Kovac. Following a 1-1 draw with Hamburg this past weekend, Schlotterbeck publicly criticized the team’s tactics, a sentiment echoed in private discussions.

Moreover, the prevailing circumstances at Westfalenstadion diminish the likelihood of Schlotterbeck competing for major trophies, both domestically and internationally, in the near future.

Recognized as one of the most promising young defenders globally, Schlotterbeck is expected to attract considerable interest should he choose to leave BVB. Notably, if Dayot Upamecano departs from Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga leaders are likely to pursue Schlotterbeck, alongside reported interest from Liverpool.
