""He is one of the best central defenders we have in Germany," Matthäus said (as captured by Goal). "I think it depends a lot on (Dayot) Upamecano. If Upamecano stays, then it will be very difficult for Nico Schlotterbeck to become a regular player at Bayern. But we are not there yet. I don't know what Nico is planning.""
""In Dortmund he has his position. I don't know what he is waiting for: probably still for offers from England.""
Nico Schlotterbeck should abort any plans to join Bayern Munich if Dayot Upamecano signs a new contract at the club. Vincent Kompany appears to be settling on a centre-back pairing and has not rotated defenders heavily, leaving Upamecano and Jonathan Tah with the most minutes. Upamecano is reportedly linked with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain while Bayern remains hesitant to meet his demands. Schlotterbeck has established himself as a reliable central defender at Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund has little incentive to sell him to Bayern and could block or complicate a move, especially with a contract running to 2027. Offers from England may still be possible.
