Nico Schlotterbeck, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Jose Mourinho
9 June 2026
Real Madrid could reportedly move for Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck despite his recent contract extension. The centre-back’s release clause is said to apply to selected clubs, including Madrid and Liverpool.
Jose Mourinho is believed to admire Schlotterbeck, while Madrid’s defence remains stretched by injuries and possible exits. Dortmund face a difficult situation because the player has long been attracted to a Bernabeu move.
