According to reports from Falk, Dortmund defender Schlotterbeck is not satisfied with the contract extension offer he received. Now Liverpool may soon contact Dortmund about his transfer, while Bayern and Real Madrid are also paying attention to the player's situation.

Falke said that Schlotterbeck is interested in potential offers from Liverpool, and at this time the Red Army is reacting to the long-term injury of youngster Leoni and is worried that Konate may leave the team on a free agent when his contract expires next summer.

Liverpool should be contacting Dortmund soon about Schlotterbeck, and the player has already received an offer to extend his contract until 2030. However, the pre-tax income of this offer is only about 8 million euros, which is 2.5 million euros higher than his current annual salary, but he is not satisfied with it.

The reason behind this is that his teammate Sule has an annual income of 14 million euros, but he is only a member of the bench. So with that in mind, Schlotterbeck is open to outside offers.

If Schlotterbeck agrees to move to Liverpool in the upcoming transfer window, his future looks bright both competitively and financially. Van Dijk is one of the highest-paid defenders in world football, and Liverpool can prove they are willing to pay top-tier defenders high wages.

As for Bayern, they can also point out that Alphonso Davies (annual salary of 15 million euros) and Jonathan Tower (annual salary of 12 million euros) also received generous basic salaries.

However, Bayern is not yet in the game, but if Upamecano (whose contract also ends next summer) makes it clear that he will not sign a new contract, and they fail to get Marc Guei, then Bayern may soon join the battle. These three defenders are also objects of interest to Liverpool.

Liverpool is currently paying attention to Schloterbeck, while for Bayern and Real Madrid the candidates remain unchanged.
