Madrid’s Next Target? Nico Schlotterbeck Eyes Real Madrid Transfer
5 December 2025
Transfer Spotlight
A star from the German national team and Borussia Dortmund is awaiting Real Madrid’s move to sign him in the near future.
According to Sky Sports Germany, Nico Schlotterbeck, Dortmund’s defender, prefers a move to Real Madrid over any other club.
He is 26 and does not rule out other options, but Real Madrid sits at the top of his priority list, provided a concrete offer is made.
The second option in Schlotterbeck’s calculations would be Bayern Munich, given his extensive Bundesliga experience.
His contract with Dortmund runs until summer 2027, and he can play center-back and left-back.
He has been with Dortmund since summer 2022 and has earned 23 Germany caps since his debut in March 2022.
What’s Next
As transfer chatter grows, Madrid’s decision will hinge on presenting a formal bid that matches the defender’s ambitions and Dortmund’s valuation.
Meanwhile, Bayern could also dip their toes in the water, banking on his German pedigree to weigh up a potential domestic move.
Punchline: If Real Madrid signs him, they’ll finally have a defense that reads the game and the contract—talk about multi-tasking.
Punchline: Dortmund will tell him, “We trained you to defend, not to sprint the transfer deadline.”
