Bayern Munich continues to work on strengthening its defense line in the upcoming period, placing defender Nico Schlotterbeck, a player from Borussia Dortmund, at the top of its priorities. However, at the same time, they are looking for potential alternatives in case the deal fails, according to the website "Fichajes".

The report clarified that Bayern Munich's management is closely monitoring Schlotterbeck's situation, whose contract with Borussia Dortmund expires in 2027, amid slow negotiations regarding the extension of his contract. The report indicated that Dortmund offered the player a new contract until 2030 with a salary increase, but Schlotterbeck has not yet made his decision.

Bayern sees the German defender as an ideal option due to his defensive solidity, ability to play the ball from the back, tactical flexibility, and his young age, making him suitable for rejuvenating the Bavarian defense line.

The same source added that Bayern Munich's management has included Belgian defender Zeno Debast, a player from Sporting Lisbon, in the list of proposed alternatives. Debast is considered one of the most prominent rising talents in Europe, as he has been performing exceptionally well with his team in the Portuguese league, and he is contracted until 2029.

According to the report, Bayern Munich faces an important decision in the upcoming period between signing a ready player like Schlotterbeck or investing in a future project like Debast. In either case, the Bavarian club is seeking to secure its defense line in preparation for the coming seasons and to ensure the team's technical stability.
