Bayern Munich faces a demand from VfB in the Woltemade game negotiations.
VfB Stuttgart CEO Alexander Wehrle has unequivocally ruled out any transfer of Nick Woltemade to Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich for the summer transfer window. This decision was made public at an event of the "Stuttgarter Zeitung" and the "Stuttgarter Nachrichten".
The ultimatum issued by Stuttgart states that a decision on Woltemade's transfer must be made by the Supercup match on Saturday, which is scheduled for 8:30 PM and will be broadcast on Sat.1 and Sky. Despite Bayern Munich reportedly offering up to €50-60 million plus bonuses, Stuttgart rejected all bids, citing the sporting loss Woltemade’s departure would cause as significantly outweighing the financial incentives.
Stuttgart demanded no further attempts to transfer the player and declined meetings to negotiate further. The matter was declared closed prior to the Supercup clash between the two clubs, and Bayern Munich is fully aware of Stuttgart's position.
While some Bayern figures have not entirely closed the door on a possible future move, the immediate transfer is definitively off the table following the Supercup match. Both clubs have reiterated Woltemade’s commitment to Stuttgart this season, ending recent speculation.
Nick Woltemade has expressed his desire to play for Bayern Munich in the future, a fact that has been publicly known for about six and a half weeks. However, it appears that this desire will have to wait for another transfer window.
The Supercup match between VfB Stuttgart and FC Bayern Munich promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams fielding their strongest lineups. Don't miss the action on Saturday evening.
Nick Woltemade's future with VfB Stuttgart remains unchanged, as the club has reiterated its stance against any transfers to competitors, specifically Bayern Munich, whose reported €50-60 million bid was rejected based on the sporting value of Woltemade. Despite Woltemade's expressed desire to play for Bayern Munich in the future, the European leagues will have to wait for another transfer window to potentialize this move.
