Nico Schlotterbeck has denied a report that he will imminently sign a new contract with Borussia Dortmund. At a national team press conference, Schlotterbeck stated that a deal is not close, that they have not yet reached that point, and that reports about the contract being close are untrue. Contract negotiations were underway with former sporting director Sebastian Kehl, but according to Schlotterbeck, a renewal is not imminent following Kehl's departure and replacement by Ole Book.
