The website 'Fichajes' confirmed that the German club Bayern Munich has set Nico Schlotterbeck, the Borussia Dortmund defender, as a primary target to strengthen the defense for the upcoming season, amid the possibility of Dayot Upamecano's departure after his contract ends next June.

Schlotterbeck, 25 years old and contracted with Dortmund until 2027, has significant experience and maturity that place him among the ideal options for Bayern Munich. With Upamecano's contract nearing its end and his future unclear, Schlotterbeck has become the safest option to replace the French defender.

The website indicated that Bayern Munich has already begun studying the deal and communicating with the relevant parties, taking advantage of the less than two years remaining on Schlotterbeck's contract, which may facilitate negotiations under favorable terms.

From the player's perspective, moving to Bayern represents an opportunity to join a big club striving to win domestic and European titles, while Borussia Dortmund aims to retain its star amid interest from major clubs.

Nico Schlotterbeck is considered one of the prominent names in German football today, and his future between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich will be one of the highlights of the upcoming summer transfer market.
