October 2025
Dortmund have offered Schlotterbeck a contract until 2030 that could triple his salary, aiming to secure his future as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid circle. Seen as a future captain, the defender is central to BVB’s long-term rebuild under Niko Kovac.
The deal could raise his wages to €9m with bonuses, reflecting his leadership and importance. Schlotterbeck is taking his time, prioritising fitness after injury, while Dortmund remain eager to fend off Bayern, who are monitoring due to stalled talks with Dayot Upamecano.
