It was previously reported that Bayern weren't keeping tabs on the 22-year-old, but that has apparently changed.
And if Bayern have indeed joined the race for Schlotterbeck, it wouldn't come as a surprise. The young defender has arguably developed into one of the best centre-backs of the Bundesliga and received his first call-up to the German national team earlier this year.
About a month ago, the Schlotterbeck admitted he is dreaming of playing for one of Germany's biggest clubs, telling Kicker:
"I'm not a guy who necessarily wants to play in England or Spain. I always wanted to play in the Bundesliga, and preferably at the best club."
His contract with Freiburg expires in 2023.
