According to German outlet Bild, Nico Schlotterbeck’s future at Borussia Dortmund appears increasingly uncertain, with a contract extension now looking unlikely.
The German centre-back is reportedly dissatisfied with manager Nico Kovac’s tactical approach, feeling it does not suit his style of play.
Sources indicate that Schlotterbeck is aware of interest from multiple top European clubs, including long-standing admiration from Bayern Munich, who have been tracking him for an extended period.
Dortmund face a potential dilemma, as allowing the 25-year-old to leave could strengthen a rival if a move materialises.
The club may be forced to either negotiate a transfer sooner rather than later or risk entering the final year of his contract without securing his future, a scenario reminiscent of other high-profile departures in European football.
Schlotterbeck has been a key figure in Dortmund’s defence, and his decision will have significant implications for the club’s plans in the Bundesliga and European competitions.
