Bayern Munich responds to Woltemade's decree: "Time's up"
In a surprising turn of events, the transfer of Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart to Bayern Munich appears to be off the table. Stuttgart's CEO, Alexander Wehrle, has made it clear that Woltemade is their player for the upcoming season and the matter is closed, despite Bayern's interest and negotiations[2][3][4].
The latest update comes after a series of negotiations between the two clubs, with Stuttgart setting a transfer valuation around €75 million. However, Bayern's last offer, reportedly around €60 million plus bonuses, was rejected by Stuttgart[2][4].
Despite the setback, Woltemade was included in Stuttgart’s starting XI for the recent Franz Beckenbauer Supercup against Bayern, where he impressed despite the defeat[1][2]. The German club is reportedly considering salary talks with his agent to keep him satisfied and focused on the current season[4].
As for the future, Stuttgart is already planning ahead, with reports suggesting they are scouting possible long-term replacements such as Mainz’s Nelson Weiper[5]. This could indicate that Woltemade may move on at some point later.
Meanwhile, there is no direct information or update linking the status or potential move of Kingsley Coman to this Woltemade transfer saga. The recent news centers exclusively on Woltemade and Stuttgart’s stance toward Bayern Munich’s bid[1][2][3][4][5].
Christoph Freund, Bayern's sporting director, has suggested that if Bayern is serious about signing Coman, they should be able to find a solution within the given time frame[1]. However, the potential transfer of Kingsley Coman could potentially free up financial room for Bayern Munich[1].
Freund also mentioned that Kingsley Coman would have been in the squad if he was not ill[1]. The transfer of Kingsley Coman to Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr is not yet final[1]. The potential transfer of Kingsley Coman could have an impact on the Woltemade negotiations, but no concrete details have been released on this matter.
In summary, Stuttgart have rejected Bayern's offer for Woltemade and confirmed he will stay for the 2025/26 season, with no confirmed developments about Kingsley Coman related to this situation at this time. The future of both players remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the transfer market is full of surprises.
