Stuttgart's Training Camp Concludes with Impressive 6-0 Win Against FC Toulouse
As the Bundesliga's summer break comes to an end, VfB Stuttgart has concluded its training camp on a high note with a convincing 6-0 victory over French Ligue 1 side FC Toulouse at Lake Tegernsee.
The match, played over two 45-minute halves and two 15-minute extra periods, saw several key players in action, including the recently joined Nick Woltemade. Woltemade started the match and played the first half, providing an assist before being substituted. Despite not scoring himself, his performance was a promising sign for the upcoming season.
The striker has been a hot topic of transfer discussions, with FC Bayern Munich reportedly showing strong interest. However, Stuttgart has so far held firm, rejecting offers for Woltemade, with CEO Alexander Wehrle stating that the striker will play for Stuttgart next season unless "something extraordinary happens."
Despite Woltemade's clear desire to join Bayern Munich, negotiations are ongoing, and Stuttgart may set a transfer deadline around the time of their DFL-Supercup clash with Bayern on August 16 to expedite the decision.
The win against FC Toulouse was a team effort, with Jeff Chabot, Lazar Jovanovic, Ermedin Demirovic, and Chris Fuhrich all finding the back of the net. Deniz Undav was involved in a combination that led to Fuhrich's goal.
This win marks a positive note for Stuttgart as they prepare for the upcoming season, with Woltemade's future still uncertain. The situation remains fluid, but one thing is clear—Stuttgart is determined to put up a fight in the transfer market and on the pitch.
