Nico Schlotterbeck should abort any plans to join Bayern Munich if Dayot Upamecano signs a new contract at the club. Vincent Kompany appears to be settling on a centre-back pairing and has not rotated defenders heavily, leaving Upamecano and Jonathan Tah with the most minutes. Upamecano is reportedly linked with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain while Bayern remains hesitant to meet his demands. Schlotterbeck has established himself as a reliable central defender at Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund has little incentive to sell him to Bayern and could block or complicate a move, especially with a contract running to 2027. Offers from England may still be possible.
""He is one of the best central defenders we have in Germany," Matthäus said (as captured by Goal). "I think it depends a lot on (Dayot) Upamecano. If Upamecano stays, then it will be very difficult for Nico Schlotterbeck to become a regular player at Bayern. But we are not there yet. I don't know what Nico is planning.""
""In Dortmund he has his position. I don't know what he is waiting for: probably still for offers from England.""
