Woltemade encouraged to temporarily remain in Stuttgart, as per Effenberg's advice.
Article: Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart in Stalemate Over Nick Woltemade's Transfer
Bayern Munich's pursuit of VfB Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade remains unresolved, with both clubs at an impasse in negotiations. Stuttgart is holding firm on their valuation of Woltemade, estimated to be around €60–70 million, while Bayern's latest offer stands at approximately €55 million.
Despite this, Bayern remains optimistic about reaching a compromise and securing Woltemade's signature. However, they are not in a hurry, with reports suggesting they are waiting for Stuttgart to make the next move.
Meanwhile, Woltemade himself is eager to leave, adding pressure on Stuttgart to reach a decision. The 23-year-old striker has expressed his desire to both clubs internally.
Former Bayern Munich midfielder Stefan Effenberg expressed his belief that Woltemade is a player Bayern needs to sign, but advised against making a move immediately. Effenberg, now 56, believes that Woltemade's development and guaranteed playing time would be better served by staying with Stuttgart for the time being.
Effenberg's comments were made at an event for his advertising partner Fenster.com, but there is no indication that they have had a direct impact on the ongoing talks between the two clubs.
In recent developments, Bayern has signed offensive player Luis Díaz, which may reduce the urgency to immediately strengthen the attack. This could potentially align with Effenberg's suggestion of a more measured approach to pursuing Woltemade.
Stuttgart's sporting director, Fabian Wohlgemuth, has stated that Woltemade is likely to be part of the squad this season, adding another layer of complexity to the transfer saga.
As the transfer window progresses, both clubs will need to find a compromise that satisfies both parties, with Woltemade's future at the heart of the negotiations.
