"75 million euros alleged to be extorted from non-market entities: Consultant of Woltemade accuses Stuttgart"
In a surprising turn of events, VfB Stuttgart has unequivocally refused to entertain the idea of selling their star striker, Nick Woltemade, to Bayern Munich for the upcoming summer transfer window. The German national player, who has been linked with Bayern for weeks, has already agreed to join the Bavarian giants, but the deal seems to be on hold for now.
The offer from Bayern Munich for Woltemade is reportedly more than 15 million euros higher than the offer from VfB Stuttgart, and includes a share in the resale of his contract. However, the supervisory board of Stuttgart has made an offer for Woltemade that is significantly lower than the 75 million euros demanded by his agent.
Negotiations between the clubs broke down after Bayern reportedly offered over €60 million, but Stuttgart demanded around €75 million. Stuttgart was unwilling to accept Bayern’s offer, and both sides have agreed not to continue talks for this transfer window.
Despite the current impasse, it is widely expected within Stuttgart that Woltemade will join Bayern Munich in the summer of 2026, indicating the transfer has been postponed rather than permanently canceled.
Woltemade, who came to VfB Stuttgart without a transfer fee, currently has a salary classification in the lower midfield. The opportunity for a career move has arisen for Woltemade at Bayern Munich, a German record champion and permanent Champions League participant.
Alexander Wehrle, CEO of VfB Stuttgart, has set a deadline for clarifying Woltemade's future by the kick-off of the Supercup match against Bayern Munich on Saturday at 8:30 PM. The Supercup match promises to be an exciting affair, with both teams eager to start the new season on a high note.
In summary, the transfer for the summer of 2025 is off the table, with Stuttgart refusing to sell. Woltemade is playing the 2025-26 season at Stuttgart, and a move to Bayern is expected but targeted for the summer of 2026. The current status of the negotiations suggests a wait of a year before this highly anticipated transfer can be finalized.
