FIFA World Cup: Tensions are rising at Borussia Dortmund after center-back Nico Schlotterbeck said a contract extension sought by the club remains far from being agreed.

"I must deny reports that we are close," the 26-year-old said. The German international indicated that the latest power struggles within the club's leadership had affected the negotiations.

The announcement by the sought-after defender fueled unrest among fans, as talks had dragged on for more than six months, reports Xinhua.
