Bayern Munich's Kane and Diaz score decisive goals, securing a dominating victory over Stuttgart and claiming the German Supercup trophy.
In the world of German football, the name Nick Woltemade is making waves. The 23-year-old striker, currently plying his trade for VfB Stuttgart, has caught the eye with his impressive performances. Woltemade's breakthrough season saw him score 17 goals, earning him the title of top scorer at the European Under-21 Championship in the summer of 2025. His performances didn't go unnoticed, as he made his senior debut for Germany and drew interest from bigger clubs, notably Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich's interest in Woltemade is driven by several factors. As a promising young German striker, he fits the profile Bayern values highly to maintain a strong domestic core. Woltemade's goal-scoring ability and potential for further growth make him a strategic long-term investment. His performances against Bayern and in international youth competitions have highlighted his talent and fighting spirit, capturing Bayern's attention.
Despite Bayern Munich making substantial bids for Woltemade, including a €40 million plus add-ons offer in July 2025, later increased to around €60 million, Stuttgart have firmly rejected these offers. Stuttgart's CEO, Alexander Wehrle, has publicly stated that Woltemade will remain at Stuttgart for the 2025-2026 season, effectively shutting down transfer hopes for the summer of 2025. Woltemade himself wants the move, but negotiations have stalled due to the valuation gap.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich continues to prepare for the upcoming Bundesliga season. After winning the German Supercup against VfB Stuttgart with a score of 2-1, they aim to carry their pre-season form into the new season. Manuel Neuer, Bayern's keeper, was in fine form during the Supercup match, earning him the man-of-the-match title.
The Bundesliga season is set to start less than a week after the Supercup match. Bayern Munich will be looking to maintain their winning streak, having won all their pre-season matches and extending their winning streak to two with their Supercup victory. The goals were scored by Harry Kane and Luis Diaz, with Serge Gnabry providing the assist for Diaz's goal. Despite Stuttgart's efforts to equalize, Bayern managed to maintain a clean sheet for most of the match, with Manuel Neuer playing a key role.
As the transfer window closes and the new season approaches, it remains to be seen if Bayern Munich will renew their pursuit of Nick Woltemade in 2026. For now, the young striker will continue to shine for VfB Stuttgart, while Bayern Munich looks to defend their Bundesliga title.
