TEAMtalk transfer insider Fraser Fletcher revealed earlier this month that Nico Schlotterbeck is high on Manchester United's list of potential players. Manchester United are planning to acquire a new centre-back in 2026 and are interested in Schlotterbeck. Dortmund are facing financial pressures and a need to balance their finances, so a lucrative offer, likely in the region of £50m, could persuade the club to sell soon rather than risk losing him for a reduced fee or on a free transfer the following year.

According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United are currently the leading contenders to sign Nico Schlotterbeck from Borussia Dortmund. The 25-year-old defender's contract will expire at the end of the season, and it is uncertain whether they can secure a pre-contract agreement with the player in January.

It is reported that Manchester United are interested in signing Borussia Dortmund's centre-back, Nico Schlotterbeck. The player is delaying signing a new contract and, according to a report from BILD, is currently more inclined to leave. TEAMtalk claims Liverpool also remain interested, while other clubs reportedly interested are Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
