Bavarian's third offer turned down by VfB - Consultants backed by Woltemade intensify negotiation pressures
In a recent update, it has been confirmed that VfB Stuttgart and FC Bayern will not be reaching an agreement for the transfer of Nick Woltemade this summer. According to Stuttgart CEO Alexander Wehrle, Woltemade remains a Stuttgart player for the current season, and the case is closed, despite Bayern's efforts and offers reportedly exceeding €60 million.
Stuttgart had demanded a valuation around €75 million, which Bayern did not meet by the deadline, effectively ending negotiations for now. However, it is widely assumed at Stuttgart that Woltemade will eventually join Bayern Munich, likely in the summer of 2026.
Despite the ongoing standoff, Stuttgart is already looking into long-term replacements. Mainz striker Nelson Weiper has been identified as a potential successor for Woltemade in the future, reflecting the likelihood that Woltemade will leave eventually, just not immediately this transfer window.
The Supercup match between VfB Stuttgart and Bayern Munich is scheduled for Saturday, with kick-off at 8:30 PM. VfB CEO Alexander Wehrle emphasized that clarity regarding Woltemade's transfer should be achieved by the Supercup kick-off.
In a conversation with the editorial team, Wehrle clarified that Stuttgart is not willing to budge in negotiations with Bayern officials. The offer from the player's side and Bayern, amounting to over 60 million euros plus a share in any future sale, was delivered to VfB Stuttgart. However, the Stuttgart side is not satisfied with the new offer and is demanding a market-incompatible 75 million euros for Woltemade's transfer, despite him coming free of transfer fee.
The German record champion, FC Bayern, remains a permanent participant in the Champions League. The football national player Nick Woltemade's advisor, Danny Bachmann, is increasing pressure on VfB Stuttgart in the tug-of-war over Bayern Munich's desired target. The new offer includes a salary classification for Woltemade in the lower midfield.
As the transfer saga continues, both clubs will be eager to find a resolution that suits all parties involved. The future of Woltemade at Stuttgart and his potential move to Bayern remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the 23-year-old striker's talent and potential have not gone unnoticed by the German champions.
According to the discussion with Alexander Wehrle, Stuttgart's CEO, Nick Woltemade's transfer to Bayern Munich is not imminent, as the club is looking for a long-term replacement for him. It is also apparent that European leagues, particularly the German leagues, are closely monitoring the ongoing transfer saga between VfB Stuttgart and Bayern Munich.
