Nico Schlotterbeck

In August 2026, reports indicated Borussia Dortmund's asking price for the player is between €50-60 million. This figure aligns with numerous reports from April to July 2026 of a release clause, valued at €50-60 million, which was available to a select group of clubs but reportedly expired in mid-July. Earlier in April 2026, it was suggested a bidding war could potentially raise his price to around €47-53 million, while one report mentioned a conditional fee of €30-35 million if he did not sign a contract extension. In January 2026, a transfer value as high as €70 million was mentioned, and in December 2025, reports claimed Dortmund's demand was a minimum of €70 million, while others suggested Bayern Munich was considering a €50 million offer. His completed transfer from SC Freiburg to Borussia Dortmund in July 2022 was for a reported €20 million.

Our valuation for Nico Schlotterbeck is driven by the highly consistent reporting of a €50-60 million release clause in his new contract, which was reportedly active until mid-July 2026. This range is further solidified by the most recent reports from August 2026, which state Borussia Dortmund's asking price remains in the same €50-60 million bracket. His long-term contract until 2031 and his significant value appreciation since his €20 million transfer in 2022 support a firm valuation at this level.
