Nico Schlotterbeck Transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid
Borussia Dortmund have set a price tag of €65 million ($77.8 million) for center back Nico Schlotterbeck, according to Fichajes. Schlotterbeck is thought to be a leading target for Real Madrid.
According to Defensa Central, Dortmund have reached an agreement to renew the contract of Nico Schlotterbeck. The report states the center-back has secured a €60 million ($70.3 million) release clause for a switch to the Bernabéu in the summer of 2027, and adds that Madrid are satisfied with the arrangement.
According to a claim by Bild, Borussia Dortmund center-back Nico Schlotterbeck had decided to leave and was very close to joining Real Madrid. It has been mentioned that Real Madrid has not made any further moves despite a lack of players.
Nico Schlotterbeck, whose contract at Borussia Dortmund ends next summer, has been mentioned as a candidate for Real Madrid. Bild reported that he has a high probability of joining the club after the failure of the Upamecano case. However, Marca reports that Real Madrid is not interested in signing the German defender, whose price this winter is 50 million euros. The publication further states that the club's directors do not intend to recruit this winter.
According to Defensa Central, Nico Schlotterbeck has expressed his desire to sign for Real Madrid. The same report claimed that the Germany international central defender will leave Borussia Dortmund this summer and is set to join Real Madrid. It has been reported that Schlotterbeck has told Dortmund of his desire to leave next summer and prefers a move to Spain. Bild has claimed that Madrid are the leading contenders for Schlotterbeck and that Dortmund will not sell him for a minimum of €50 million.
Bild reports that Nico Schlotterbeck's future with Borussia Dortmund is at a decisive stage and that Real Madrid is currently the strongest candidate to sign him. Schlotterbeck has a contract until 2027, and because Borussia Dortmund is concerned he could leave on a free transfer, a sale next summer is not ruled out. Borussia Dortmund values Schlotterbeck at over 50 million euros and is in talks with the player about a contract renewal, as they consider him a key part of their project. Bild also states that Schlotterbeck has not yet made a final decision and is delaying his choice about his future.
Real Madrid is facing a serious defensive crisis. According to Defensa Central, the club is targeting Nico Schlotterbeck from Borussia Dortmund. To reduce the transfer fee, Real Madrid is reportedly prepared to offer five of their players: Gonzalo Garcia, Fran Garcia, Andriy Lunin, Raul Asencio, and Diego Llorente.

According to Bild, Real Madrid would like to sign Borussia Dortmund's central defender, Nico Schlotterbeck, during the winter transfer window. The German tabloid states that Borussia Dortmund's management is asking for 70 million euros for the defender. The report continues that Real Madrid is not planning to pay this sum and is considering a swap deal, which could involve Real Madrid spending approximately 30-35 million euros for Schlotterbeck and including their second team's central defender, Diego Aguado, and/or first-team striker, Gonzalo García. It is not yet known if Borussia Dortmund would agree to such a deal. International press information indicates the club would be willing to sign Aguado, and that Schlotterbeck is also disposed to a move to Madrid.
According to BILD, Real Madrid has a serious interest in signing Nico Schlotterbeck and is now seriously considering his arrival. Schlotterbeck wants to join a European top club and is therefore hesitating about a contract extension offer from Dortmund. His current deal at the club runs until mid-2027. Defensa Central previously reported that Real Madrid wanted to make an exchange offer of €30m to €35m plus Diego Aguado and Gonzalo García, but BILD states this is not sufficient to convince Dortmund. According to BILD, the Dortmund club management is seeking a transfer fee of at least €70 million, and the same source indicates the exchange offer, worth about €55 million in total, is not enough to persuade them.

The report adds that while Real Madrid has so far been an observer without making a concrete move, the topic of Schlotterbeck is now gaining momentum in the Spanish club's considerations.
