Journalist confirms interest as contract rebel could be Man United's dream signing for £30m

Nico Schlotterbeck has been linked with a move away from Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season, and Manchester United are keen on him.

The 26-year-old German International will be out of contract in the summer of 2027, and Schlotterbeck has yet to renew his deal with the Bundesliga outfit . It remains to be seen whether the player is open to a new challenge in the summer.

Sky Germany reporter Florian Pletteberg has confirmed (h/t TEAMtalk ) that the Premier League is interested in securing a signature, but the player has yet to make a concrete decision regarding his future.

If the player decides not to sign a new deal, he will be sold in the summer. The German outfit will not want to lose him for free next year. The player will be available for a fee of €30-€35 million.

Plettenberg revealed: “I can confirm that Man Utd are interested in Nico Schlotterbeck. If he doesn’t renew his contract, he’ll be available in the summer for €30m-35m (£26-31m).”

It is no secret that Manchester United needs to improve defensively, and signing a quality central defender like Schlotterbeck would be a wise decision. He has proven his quality in the Bundesliga and with the national team. He has the quality needed to compete at the highest level. A move to the Premier League could be a tempting proposition for him. He is at the peak of his career, and this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. Schlotterbeck has been hailed as “outstanding” by Julian Nagelsmann.

Manchester United are well placed to secure Champions League qualification next season, and they could provide him with a competitive platform. The asking price is quite reasonable as well, and the Red Devils would do well to secure his signature.
