Wolfsburg initiates under energetic Woltemade's leadership with a positive response: 'Satisfactory response' - Woltemade praises VfB's determination: "Great response"
In the ongoing transfer period, the "Swabians" and FC Bayern Munich have been the two main parties involved in the transfer saga surrounding Nick Woltemade, a promising young talent. This saga, reminiscent of a game of "Transfer Poker," has been a major topic and is expected to last for approximately two weeks [1].
Despite the intense negotiations, VfB Stuttgart has made it clear that Woltemade will play for them this season, as confirmed by the club's statement [2]. The transfer window is still open for further transactions, but Stuttgart has shown resilience, rejecting all offers below their €75 million valuation of Woltemade and ruling out any transfer this summer [3][4][5].
Amidst the saga, Woltemade has demonstrated a remarkable focus and effectiveness on the pitch. He recently played in Stuttgart’s lineup against Bayern at the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup, impressing despite the pressure. His strong performance was evident, with chances on goal, including one saved by Bayern’s Manuel Neuer and another narrowly missed [1].
Stuttgart's captain praised Woltemade's strength under pressure, noting his ability to hold the ball and engage physically, even when closely marked by tough Bayern defenders like Dayot Upamecano [2].
As the transfer window continues, VfB Stuttgart's sporting director, Fabian Wohlgemuth, expects a motivated performance from Woltemade in the upcoming season [6]. It appears that the transfer saga, from Stuttgart's perspective, is over, but it is not clear if the same applies from FC Bayern Munich's perspective [7].
Christoph Freund, sporting director of Bayern Munich, has suggested that in football, nothing can be ruled out completely, implying that the transfer saga surrounding Woltemade might not be over from Bayern's perspective [8]. Vincent Kompany, coach of Bayern Munich, believes it's not negative for a player to be talked about a lot, but emphasizes the importance of learning to deal with it [9].
The DFB (German Football Association), the governing body for football in Germany, is not directly mentioned in the context of the transfer saga.

The Commission could propose a Council regulation on the introduction of a common system of value added tax for European leagues, such as sports like football, to fund infrastructure development for banana markets' common organization. Meanwhile, despite the ongoing transfer saga, Woltemade's impressive performances for VfB Stuttgart indicate a promising future for the young talent, even amidst speculation from FC Bayern Munich.
