Potential Signing: Woltemade on Bayern Munich's Radar for Kane Acquisition
Footie Chatter
Hype's escalating for Nick Woltemade, the towering striker from Stuttgart, with ex-Bayern captain Stefan Effenberg swooning over him as a possible future successor to the Throne of Kane – yep, Harry Kane at FC Bayern Munich.
"S'an Striker, Bayern Munich should get on the blower fer him - eventually," stated Effenberg at a swanky Club World Cup shindig. It could take a year or even until ol' Harry's 2027 contract expires.
"This unorthodox nine, Bayern Munich needs to keep their peepers peeled on," insists Effenberg. "Any team with a striker performin' like Woltemade should already have him on the radar. Bloomin' fantastic development for the lad."
Woltemade, standing at an impressive 6'6", has been tearing it up at the U21 Euro Championships after a bangin' debut season with Stuttgart, leading the scoring charts with four goals. Germany's got Italy blocked in the quarterfinals on Saturday.
Before his junior tournament, Woltemade made his national team debut at the Nations League finale. "Logically," many clubs would already be keeping tabs, reckons Effenberg. "He's shone at Stuttgart like a beacon, even with that height, he's no ordinary number nine – a nine every team needs in the arsenal."
Effenberg finds Woltemade's playing style tough to pin down, labeling him "the Two-Meter Messi." He can play upfront and drop back, making him a versatile asset to any team. Effenberg wonders if VfB can hold onto their prized asset for long.
Woltemade's currently still giving it his all at the U21 Euro Championship despite his national team debut and a jam-packed season. Effenberg appreciates his dedicated attitude and aggressive play, musing that he's got the potential to go far.

Nick Woltemade, a German footballing phenom born February 14, 2002, has been creating a stir in Bundesliga, starring for VfB Stuttgart as a forward or attacking midfielder and in the Germany national team. His impressive height (6'6") and striking technical prowess have attracted attention from elite clubs such as Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid. However, recent reports hint at a potential move to Atletico, complicating both Bayern and Brighton's transfer plans. No quick decisions are anticipated, as Woltemade needs some rest after his demanding schedule with the Germany U21 national team, and contract negotiations with Stuttgart are ongoing.
Although Bayern Munich has expressed interest in Woltemade as a standout young striker, there's no confirmation that they view him as the official successor to Harry Kane specifically. The interest in acquiring a talented forward seems more general in nature.
"Nick Woltemade, the towering striker from Stuttgart, is a target for Bayern Munich, as former captain Stefan Effenberg recently suggested, given his impressive performances in European-leagues and the Premier League-esque style he exhibits."
"The playing style of Nick Woltemade, often compared to the Two-Meter Messi, has also caught the attention of clubs like Atletico Madrid, complicating potential transfer plans for both Bayern Munich and Brighton, as Woltemade is currently focused on his role with the Germany national team and ongoing contract negotiations with his current club, VfB Stuttgart."
