According to Fichajes, Barcelona have renewed their interest in Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck and plan to compete with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich for the player's transfer, which could be worth up to €70 million (£60.7 million, $83.7 million).

According to a report from 'Sport', the signing of Nico Schlotterbeck for FC Barcelona is not being considered for the time being.

A preliminary decision now seems to have been made.

Mundo Deportivo reports that FC Barcelona is no longer involved in a potential transfer for Nico Schlotterbeck due to the economic figures being discussed, even though the player has been under consideration by the club and is highly regarded by Hansi Flick.
