Photo: Schlottbeck is not in a hurry to renew his contract with Dortmund, and Bayern and Real Madrid will likely go home

According to "Bild", Dortmund central defender Schlotterbeck is in no rush to renew his contract with the club. He hopes to receive an annual salary of 10 million euros.

Schlotterbeck not only has a tough performance on the court, but also in negotiations. The German central defender's contract with Dortmund will expire in 2027, and the club hopes to renew his contract until 2030 and significantly increase his salary. However, he is in no rush to make a decision.

The reason why Schloterbeck hopes to get an annual salary of 10 million euros is because Süle's annual salary is as high as 14 million euros. However, since joining Dortmund from Bayern in 2022, the latter has failed to perform stably due to injuries and fluctuations in form. In addition, Schloterbeck also realizes that there may be better opportunities in the transfer market next summer, with Bayern and Real Madrid both potential choices. Upamecano's future at Bayern is unclear, and it is still unknown whether he will renew his contract with the Bundesliga giants.

In 2022, Bayern signed Schlotterbeck when the transfer window was about to close, but it was too late because the player had already chosen Dortmund. For Schlotterbeck, playing for Real Madrid is also a viable option. If he joins Real Madrid, he can replace the controversial national team teammate Rudiger. In addition, Alaba's contract with Real Madrid is about to expire.

In addition to Bayern and Real Madrid, Manchester City is also said to be interested in Schloterbeck. Obviously, Schloterbeck is in the best period of his career. His left-foot skills and precise long passes are a major weapon for the team. For Dortmund, he is an ideal future captain candidate. The national team coach Nagelsmann also recognizes his strength and plans to let him participate in the 2026 World Cup.
