Now, there has been a development as Borussia Dortmund’s shock exit at the hands of Atalanta in the Champions League this week has boosted the chance of the defender deciding to leave this summer. In Germany, they interpret the knockout as a new blow to the credibility of BVB’s project, which already fell early on in the Pokal and has been left behind in the Bundesliga.” In this context, the situation of Shlotterbeck, who is of interest to Real Madrid and Liverpool becomes more relevant.

It has been reported by BILD that Real Madrid is the defender’s preferred destination but Liverpool remain firmly in the race. If Liverpool were to push for a transfer, AS report Nico Shlotterbeck’s price tag to be in the region of 50million euros, a price tag that would have been higher if the defender wasn’t out of contract in the summer of 2027.
