Nico Schlotterbeck is making waves under-radar in Europe this season. The 22-year-old has been so good, he was recently named in Whoscored team of the season.
Some fans on Twitter believe he's the perfect centre-back Barcelona should go for based on his profile.
Xerku: "When talking about a defensive signing next season, everyone is pointing out at Kounde, De ligt, Lisandro, etc. What is your opinion about Nico Schlotterbeck? Do you think he'll fit in at Barca?"
"From what I saw, he's a ball-playing centre-back. Primarily a ball carrier, he is good with both feet (the left being his dominant), exceptional at reading space around opponents when ball-carrying, and has the perfect physique to be a mobile central defender," Xerku continues on his thread.
yos: "And Schlotterbeck is better than any central Barca"
Ekow Quayson: "Freiburg's Nico Schlotterbeck has everything I want in a CB and everything @NiiLomotey2 expects from his CB, lol.
"Very good CB, left-footed, good passer, intelligent, strong fast, tall and very consistent. Barca should scout beyond Spain and South America. He's one to watch."
Schlotterbeck has a market value of just €20m, as per Transfermarkt. He's also quite tall and powerfully built, standing at 1.91m.
This season, the German centre-back has helped Freiburg keep 9 clean sheets in his 26 appearances.
Would you recommend Schlotterbeck to Barca?
