Matthaus: If Hupa leaves the team, Bayern can sign Schlotterback, who is cheaper than Walter Mader

October 18th German media sport1 previously reported that Bayern's contract renewal negotiations with Upamecano have reached a deadlock, and the French defender's contract will expire next summer.

Bayern legend Matthäus said: "If things don't progress with Pamecano, then Schlotterbeck can definitely do it, and he is not just an alternative. Bringing him to Munich is almost something Bayern must do. Because he is familiar with the Bundesliga, and he is a defensive partner with Jonathan Tower in the German team

"In my opinion, this deal is completely possible, because Schlotterbeck's current contract period is not too long (expiration in the summer of 2027). And he's probably cheaper than Walter Mader, and yes, that's a subtle point. You have to think about the length of the contract, so I really think so. Yes, Schlotterbeck will be cheaper than Walter Mader! "
