Falke: Bayern will only consider Schlotterback if Upa can t renew contract and Guei is not signed

Hupu News on October 10 According to a personal English column written by "Sports Bild" editor-in-chief Falk, Bayern Munich is paying attention to Dortmund defender Schlotterbeck, but does not regard him as the first choice for signings at this stage.

It is reported that although Schlotterbeck has always been a core member of Dortmund's defense system and the club is actively promoting his contract renewal, the player himself has not expressed his willingness to renew his contract recently. This situation has attracted the attention of many wealthy clubs including Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. It is worth noting that Bayern had tried to introduce the German international before moving to Dortmund in 2022.

In contract renewal negotiations, Dortmund has offered Schlotterback a new contract until 2030, intending to significantly increase his annual salary from the current 2.5 million euros to at least 8 million euros. However, the asking price for the players is about 10 million euros, and there are still differences between the two parties.

At the same time, Bayern is actively promoting the lineup planning of the defense line. The club is working hard to renew the contract with Upamecano, whose contract expires next summer. Although it has met his basic salary requirements, it is unwilling to pay a high signing fee due to the implementation of cost control measures. Bayern is aware that Liverpool and Real Madrid are eyeing Pamecano, so they are also arranging alternative plans. Crystal Palace defender Gueye is regarded as the primary target to replace Kim Min-jae because his contract will also expire next summer.

At this stage, Schlotterbeck is ranked low on Bayern's defense signings list. But if there is a situation where Pamecano fails to renew his contract and Bayern misses out on Gueye, Schlotterbeck will become a key consideration.
