Real Madrid renew interest in Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck

Nico Schlotterbeck has again emerged as a transfer target for Real Madrid, according to BILD.

The 26-year-old Borussia Dortmund centre-back is attracting interest from six clubs, with Real Madrid among those monitoring his situation.

Schlotterbeck’s contract includes a €60m release clause, a figure that could make a potential move more straightforward for interested clubs.

The Germany international has made just one Bundesliga appearance this season after missing the opening matches because of injury.

Schlotterbeck remains under contract with Borussia Dortmund until the middle of 2031.
