​Dortmund has finally set an exit price of 65 million euros for their defensive stalwart, Nico Schlotterbeck, sparking a frenzied race among the Spanish giants.

Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have received the news at a critical moment in their respective sports planning for the upcoming season. While the Whites urgently need to renew a backline heading towards a cycle change, the Blaugranas are looking for a left-footed profile to provide hierarchy and clean distribution.

The situation of the 26-year-old German international is clear: he has no intention of extending his stay in Germany beyond June 2027. Faced with this scenario, the German entity has decided that next summer will be the ideal time to monetize the talent of a player who already feels ready for the global elite.

Dortmund sets Nico Schlotterbeck's value in the face of White interest

Real Madrid emerges as the main candidate to secure the services of the left-footed center back after missing out on signing Marc Guéhi. With the imminent departures of veteran figures like David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger on the horizon for 2026, the Merengue board has stepped on the accelerator.

The German entity is fully aware that the appeal of becoming the new leader in defense at the Santiago Bernabéu is a decisive factor in the player's decision. Therefore, Dortmund is not willing to negotiate below those 65 million euros, knowing it possesses one of the most sought-after pieces in the market.

Florentino Pérez's planning has ruled out other options such as Ibrahima Konaté or Dayot Upamecano to focus all efforts on the Bundesliga player. The White team sees in him the perfect combination of physical strength and tactical vision to lead the defense for the next decade.

Barcelona and Bayern's bid for the Dortmund star

Meanwhile, Barcelona continues to monitor the situation cautiously, seeking that left-footed center-back who can support young talents like Pau Cubarsí and Eric García. Hansi Flick knows perfectly well the capabilities of his compatriot, though the financial problems of the Catalan institution could hinder immediate payment of the clause.

Despite Bayern Munich's competition, Dortmund prefers a sale abroad to avoid directly strengthening their domestic title rival. This preference gives a competitive advantage to the Spanish clubs, who already have the exact figures to start formal negotiations in the coming months.

The player has already hinted that his priority is to make a leap to a project with real aspirations to win the Champions League on a regular basis. Dortmund, true to its business model, is already scouting the market for a young replacement who can fill the void left by its current field marshal.

The future is decided at Signal Iduna Park

The roadmap is laid out and the economic assessment is already known to the technical secretariats of Madrid and Barcelona. Nico Schlotterbeck represents that market opportunity that only comes around once every few years: a defender in full physical form and with proven international experience.

The outcome of this story seems to be heading towards a record transfer that will once again confirm the talent export capacity of the Ruhr region. Dortmund is gearing up for a lucrative farewell, while European football awaits to see which giant ultimately wins the battle in this 65-million operation.
