A few days ago, the media reported that Borussia and Schlotterbeck had reached an agreement on a contract extension, but today it became clear that Schlotterbeck has suddenly cut off all talks and is flatly refusing to sign a new deal.

It is believed that one of the main reasons for this decision is offers from other clubs, which may have displeased the “Black and Yellows” management and led to a falling out with the player.

This season, Schlotterbeck has made 30 appearances for Borussia, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists. His current contract with Dortmund runs until the summer of 2027, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €55 million.
