Nico Schulz does not seem to have a great sporting future at Borussia Dortmund. As a result, the left-back could leave BVB in the summer. Adviser Roger Wittmann has now explained that the former national player is actually dealing with a change.
Nico Schulz doesn’t play a big role at Borussia Dortmund. In the past season, the 29-year-old – also due to injuries – only played 16 Bundesliga games for the black and yellow. Especially in the final spurt of the season, Schulz was only rarely on the green lawn under ex-trainer Marco Rose.
It seems unlikely that this situation will change under Edin Terzic. That’s why Schulz has been a candidate for departure at BVB for some time. Adviser Roger Wittmann has now additionally fueled these rumours.
“Nico has not played, is dissatisfied with himself, is looking for a new sporting challenge, is very open to a change,” said Schulz’ player agent on Sunday at “picture“.
Wittmann continues: “That’s how it is when it doesn’t fit, when you don’t value yourself anymore. But he won’t change just so he’s changed. He’ll go to a good club and if that doesn’t work, then stay. “
Lazio Rome instead of BVB?
Schulz still has a contract with BVB until 2024. The “Gazzetta dello Sport” recently reported that Lazio Rome should have the native of Berlin on the list. The Italian newspaper spoke of “just over five million euros” that would have to be invested for a possible Schulz transfer.
Compared to the high transfer fee that BVB transferred to TSG Hoffenheim three years ago, it’s a real bargain: in 2019, the Westphalians paid a whopping 25.5 million euros for Schulz, who has never been able to fully establish himself in Dortmund’s core formation since then.
