Newcastle United has expressed interest in Nico Schlotterbeck. Borussia Dortmund is working on a contract extension offering a doubled salary and the potential of a captaincy. Summer discussions are planned, linked to the club's international qualification.

Newcastle United may also pursue Nico Schlotterbeck if they cannot acquire Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. Financial constraints and the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules might make this transfer challenging for Newcastle, but Eddie Howe sees Schlotterbeck as a key addition to their defence.
