Live broadcast on October 24: Dortmund defender Schlottbeek is still hesitant about whether to renew his contract, but media reports that Bayern is interested in him. Bayern celebrity Kahn believes that this is a player suitable for Bayern in terms of type and revealed that he was interested in Schlotbeck while he was chairman of the Bayern board of directors.
Schroeder had a contract renewal ahead of him that could already be signed, but he was still hesitant about whether to sign, as he wanted to wait to see Dortmund develop at the competitive level first.
After last weekend's defeat to Bayern, Schlotterbeck described his decision about his future as "an important decision in his career" in an interview and said he hoped to sit down with Dortmund executives soon.
Over the past few years and even decades, Bayern has been shaped by special characters such as Schweinsteiger, Ram, Thomas-Müller or current Neuer and Kimmich.
To this question, Kahn replied on Sky Sports in Germany: "Of course, the question is always 'How can such a player gain a foothold in Bayern Munich?' What I think is that in terms of type, he definitely belongs to one of them. But you can never be completely sure in advance." In any case, Kahn believes Bayern has a "obligation to pay attention to him."
In his speech, Weidenfeller said: “He’s an absolute leader in Dortmund, a key player in his role, and he has the support of his fans to drive a team. Wattsk said recently that they will do their best to make him feel that even in Dortmund, one can be a very great player.”
Bayern had been looking at the 25-year-old in the summer of 2022, but he had moved to Dortmund at the time. Bayern’s then chairman, Kane, now confirmed that Bayern had thought about signing him at that time: “Yes, I remember. That was when he was still playing at Freiburg and he had to make a decision. But we chose someone else because he was very, very young.”
Since then, Schroeder has played for Dortmund 130 times (6 goals / 12 assists) and is currently showing outstanding status. As for whether Bayern will make a quick step and succeed in a possible second attempt to sign a contract, it remains to be seen...
