Bayern Munich responds to Woltemade's demand: "That's it, understood"
FC Bayern Munich Secures Budget for Nick Woltemade Transfer with Kingsley Coman's Sale
In a significant move for the German football giant, FC Bayern Munich has announced that Kingsley Coman will be joining Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League from August 2025 [1][2][3][4]. This transfer, reportedly worth around €30 million, is set to free up financial resources for Bayern, which could potentially accelerate their attempts to sign Nick Woltemade.
The departure of Coman comes at a crucial time for Bayern, as they have shown interest in signing Woltemade and have already made substantial bids for reinforcements [5]. The sale of Coman is intended to create budget space to pursue other transfers, including the potential signing of Woltemade.
With Coman's departure, Bayern gains more flexibility to renew their efforts in the transfer market. This development could positively impact the ongoing Nick Woltemade transfer saga, as Bayern is motivated to strengthen the squad after Coman's exit.
However, it's important to note that the transfer of Kingsley Coman is not yet complete, and Bayern is yet to reveal its next move regarding Woltemade's transfer. Stuttgart's CEO, Alexander Wehrle, has stated that a decision on Woltemade's future must be made by the kick-off of the Supercup clash.
In a recent statement, Sporting Director Christoph Freund acknowledged the financial implications of the Coman transfer, stating that there is no room to maneuver due to the potential deal. Freund also addressed the excessive talk and speculation surrounding Woltemade's transfer, urging for a swift resolution within the given timeframe.
Wehrle, on the other hand, has been firm in his stance, stating that if FC Bayern wants to sign Woltemade, they should be able to reach a solution within the given timeframe. This assertive approach from Stuttgart's CEO suggests a sense of urgency and a willingness to negotiate, which could potentially lead to a successful transfer for both parties.
In Zurich, Christoph Freund had previously explained Kingsley Coman's absence due to illness, not a transfer [6][7]. Despite the initial speculation, it appears that Coman's departure was not related to a transfer during the Zurich match.
As the transfer window closes and the Supercup clash approaches, fans and football enthusiasts eagerly await the outcome of the Nick Woltemade transfer saga. The potential sale of Kingsley Coman to Al-Nassr has certainly added an interesting twist to Bayern's transfer plans, and it will be fascinating to see how this unfolds in the coming days.
