Sport Bild reports that Borussia Dortmund have made their first proposal to Nico Schlotterbeck when it comes to extending his contract.
It was previously reported that the 25-year-old wants a guaranteed salary of €10m per year, whilst also seeing Dortmund’s progression towards a title-winning team. While Bayern Munich and Real Madrid both monitor the centre-back’s situation.
BVB’s first offer for their defensive leader was a contract until 2030 with a base salary of €8m, but that could increase with a successful season, as well as Bundesliga bonuses worth €1m.
It is questionable whether these figures will be enough. However, die Schwarzgelben have not set a deadline for when Schlotterbeck must make a decision, and they intend not to put any pressure on him.
Dortmund’s plans for Schlotterbeck:
Extending the contract of the central defender will be the main task of sporting director Sebastian Kehl. It has been made clear, repeatedly, that Schlotterbeck is set to be a big player for Dortmund’s future. The 25-year-old is expected to be made the face of the club going forward and will be made captain in the medium term, most likely replacing Emre Can.
