"Dreesen, Bayern's leader, voices disagreement on VfB's standout player Woltemade"
## FC Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart Transfer Negotiations on Hold
The transfer negotiations between Nick Woltemade and FC Bayern Munich have hit a temporary roadblock. Despite reports of a verbal agreement between the player and the German giants, Bayern has yet to submit a written offer to VfB Stuttgart [1][4].
The standstill in negotiations is due to a significant disparity in the valuation of Woltemade, with VfB Stuttgart demanding a transfer fee that is reportedly too high for Bayern [2]. Bayern's sports director, Max Eberl, has publicly discussed the potential sums involved in the transfer, suggesting a figure of up to 80 million euros [5].
In response to inquiries about the transfer, FC Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has made a statement, stating that the negotiations are on hold due to the Club World Cup, in which Bayern is currently participating [6]. Dreesen further emphasised that it doesn't belong to them to heat up any discussions or make comments [7].
Meanwhile, Woltemade's contract with VfB Stuttgart runs until 2028, leaving both parties with time to reach an agreement. Bayern is reportedly exploring alternative options to bridge the valuation gap, such as including players like goalkeeper Alexander Nübel or midfielder Paul Wanner in the deal [2].
Woltemade's salary offer from Bayern has been a point of contention. Bayern has proposed an annual income of €7 million that could rise to €11 million with bonuses [3]. This offer surpasses Stuttgart's modest salary increase proposal, making it difficult for Stuttgart to compete financially and retain Woltemade [3].
The negotiations between the two clubs will resume after Bayern's return from the Club World Cup. The Club World Cup match between Bayern and PSG is scheduled for this Saturday in the USA [8]. The first written offer from Bayern may be sent to Stuttgart after their return from the tournament.
