According to Diario Sport, the club have been analysing potential signings and decided that Schlotterbeck is not the right profile and “would lack some speed to be able to adapt to Hansi Flick’s game.”
The report is adamant that Barcelona will not join the bidding for Schlotterbeck who is expected to leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season, with Bayern and Real Madrid still keen.
Barcelona are still thought to be in the hunt for a new center-back to bolster their backline, and Sport say Alessandro Bastoni and Micky van der Ven are the two players most liked by the club right now.
