Nico Schlotterbeck made statements following the match in which Borussia Dortmund defeated Union Berlin 3-0 in the 19th round of the Bundesliga, during which he scored one of the goals.

The German international defender confirmed that he has set a personal deadline for himself to decide his future, without revealing the exact timing, indicating that the decision will be made before the summer.

He added that making the decision will not be easy, explaining that he relies on his personal feelings in such matters and will sit with his father to discuss the available options before making a final decision.
