Nico Schlotterbeck

Recent reports from October 2026 state Borussia Dortmund values the player at over €70 million, but also mention a release clause of €50-60 million for certain clubs. Throughout the summer of 2026, this €50-60 million release clause was widely reported as being active for clubs like Liverpool and Real Madrid, though it reportedly expired in mid-July. Earlier reports from late 2025 and early 2026 also cited a €70 million valuation from Dortmund, while a potential offer from Bayern Munich was mentioned at around €50 million. A lower figure of €30-35 million was floated in April 2026, but this was conditional on him not renewing his contract, which he subsequently did. His last completed transfer was from SC Freiburg to Borussia Dortmund in July 2022 for a reported €20 million.

Our valuation for Nico Schlotterbeck is primarily driven by the consistently reported release clause in his new long-term contract, which is valued between €50 million and €60 million for select foreign clubs. This figure acts as a strong anchor for his price. The upper end of our range is informed by reports that Borussia Dortmund values him at over €70 million for any club not eligible to trigger the clause. His €20 million transfer in 2022 shows significant value appreciation, justifying the current high figures.
