After intensive negotiations with Nico Schlotterbeck, a contract extension at BVB is getting closer. Only the final details are missing for a breakthrough.
Borussia Dortmund is pushing ahead with talks with Nico Schlotterbeck – and according to information from “Sky Sport”, an agreement is apparently getting closer. Even if the final breakthrough between BVB and Schlotterbeck is still pending, there are increasing indications that both sides are on the right track.
BVB has great hope that Schlotterbeck will sign a new contract
As “Sky” reports, it came on Monday for another round of negotiations between BVB bosses Lars Ricken and Sebastian Kehl and Schlotterbeck advisor Björn Etzel. The discussions should have taken place in a positive and harmonious atmosphere.
There have been encouraging signals from the players, even if a final agreement is still pending. However, there is growing confidence in Dortmund that they will be able to convince the central defender to extend his contract in a timely manner.
Accordingly, Schlotterbeck is now more inclined to extend his contract with BVB. In addition to financial aspects, the sporting perspective plays a crucial role.
There is probably talk of an exit clause with Schlotterbeck
Although BVB remained without a title this season, the planned changes to the squad could convince the national player.
The extension of Felix Nmecha and an upcoming personnel change – including the departures of Julian Brandt, Niklas Süle and Salih Özcan – are intended to provide new impetus. There are also plans to rely more on wingers again in the future.

According to Sky, a sticking point in the negotiations remains the precise design of possible contract details. Above all, an exit clause is in the room and could serve as a compromise.
This would be an attractive solution for Schlotterbeck: he could take on a leadership role at BVB and at the same time keep the possibility of a later move open.
Internally it is already clear what importance the 26-year-old will have for the future. As vice-captain, he is considered one of the faces of the club and should also become one of the top earners financially with a new contract.
However, a final decision has not yet been made. There doesn’t seem to be much missing – but the final details still need to be clarified before the final agreement is reached.
