Schlotterbeck’s choice against FC Bayern & Co.: “Bock on BVB”

One of six newcomers

Nico Schlotterbeck apparently decided to transfer from SC Freiburg to Borussia Dortmund despite top-class alternatives. “There were a lot of inquiries, but I made a conscious decision to go with Dortmund: the club has a vision and has shown me a clear plan. I’m in the mood for BVB,” said the central defender in an interview with “Sport Bild”.

The black and yellow can cost the services of Schlotterbeck 20 million euros. In addition to the defender, there are also new signings from his DFB teammates Karim Adeyemi (20; for 30 million euros from Salzburg) and Niklas Süle (26; free transfer from FC Bayern) as well as Salih Özcan (24; for 5 million euros from Cologne). , Jayden Braaf (19; free transfer from Man City U23) and Alexander Meyer (31; free transfer from Regensburg).

“I could have earned more at other clubs. I’m only 22 years old, money is not the most important thing for me. The club Borussia Dortmund has done it to me: I want to continue the story there, collect titles,” said Schlotterbeck. At BVB he wants “maximum success”. From his point of view, the new sports director Sebastian Kehl has “made very good transfers”. He wants to “challenge” FC Bayern with his new team, which was “already good” anyway and has now been “superbly strengthened”. According to reports, the record champions wanted to intervene at the last moment and forestall BVB at Schlotterbeck – without success.
