Niko Schlotterback is unlikely to renew his contract with the German club. This is reported by the Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo.

If the 26-year-old German refuses to extend his contract, he could leave Dortmund for a modest fee next summer. The head coach of Barcelona, ​​Hans-Dieter Flick, is personally interested in the player’s services, who likes Schlotterback’s style of play.

The player’s current contract with the “Bumblebees” runs until the summer of 2027. In the current season, the defender appeared on the field in 13 matches in all competitions and provided two assists. Portal Transfermarkt estimates its value at 40 million euros.

Earlier it was reported that Araujo asked Barcelona for time for psychological recovery.
