The battle between "Real" and "Barcelona" for Schlotterbeck is intensifying
Two famous clubs of the Spanish football championship — Barcelona and Real Madrid — are competing not on the field this time, but in the transfer market. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Their attention is focused on Borussia Dortmund's central defender Niko Schlotterbeck. Both clubs plan to add this player to their squad during the summer transfer window to strengthen their defense line.
According to the AS publication, Real is currently leading this race and the Madrid club is close to completing the transfer. The "Royal Club" has identified strengthening the central defense as one of its main tasks.
For this reason, they are acting quickly and decisively. According to sources, Schlotterbeck is not in a hurry to extend his contract with Borussia Dortmund.
It is even possible that the player may refuse the club's offer. As a result, Dortmund's management is seriously considering selling the player next summer.
They hope this situation will work in favor of Real Madrid. In recent weeks, Real has intensified its close monitoring of Schlotterbeck.
The club officials speak highly of his consistent performance on the field, his contribution to Borussia, and his important role in the German national team. Additionally, the good relations between Real and Borussia could simplify the transfer process.
Experts estimate that the transfer fee will be around 50 million euros. At the same time, Barcelona does not want to fall behind in this race either.
As a result, the summer transfer window is expected to be intense. Now the main question is, which club will Schlotterbeck choose: Barcelona's new project or Real Madrid's ready path to victories?
