BVB apparently favorite to transfer from Freiburg defender Nico Schlotterbeck

The rumors about Nico Schlotterbeck moving from SC Freiburg to BVB are becoming more concrete. As the image reported, Borussia is apparently one of the favorites when it comes to courting the central defender.

BVB reportedly wants to strengthen their defense for the summer. In addition to Mats Hummels and Manuel Akanji, who were repeatedly struck, and whose working paper is to be extended until 2023, Dortmund lacks quality across the board.

Loan Marin Pongracic hardly plays a role after his much-discussed interview and also didn’t know how to convince athletically. Dan-Axel Zagadou is not to be expected permanently due to his lavish medical record.

Schlotterbeck could close this gap. In addition, SC sports director Klemens Hartenbach recently said in the sports picture, that a sale of the 22-year-old with a suitable offer is not excluded. The pain threshold should be around 25 million euros.

In the past few weeks, Schlotterbeck has also been associated with FC Bayern, among other things. The German record champion should according to the table football but refrain from a transfer because there would be enough free transfer centre-backs on the market.

Schlotterbeck was also traded with Bavaria

According to information from SPOX and GOAL, Bayern are primarily trying to get Andreas Christensen from Chelsea. In addition, his teammate Antonio Rüdiger should also be among the shortlisted candidates. The contracts of both blues stars expire in the summer.

Schlotterbeck, who is only contractually bound to Freiburg until 2023, is one of the top performers in coach Christian Streich’s team this season. He has also been invited to the national team.
