Bayern Munich is planning a great future with top scorer Nick Woltemade!

The rumor mill is churning in football and at the center of it all is the talented Nick Woltemade. The 23-year-old, currently under contract with VfB Stuttgart, has put in an impressive performance at the U21 European Championship in recent weeks and is leading the top scorers list with his six goals and three assists. Again Giessener Anzeiger reports, FC Bayern Munich sees great potential in the tall striker, who measures 1.98 meters and is characterized not only by his goal-scoring abilities, but also by his dribbling and heading ability.

While VfB Stuttgart has firm plans for Woltemade for the coming season and his contract runs until 2028, the player has already signaled that he is not considering extending his contract. This has brought Bayern onto the scene, and agreements between the club and Woltemade seem to have been struck - that Sports show According to him, the terms of the contract, including salary until 2030, are likely to have already been determined. However, the transfer fee of around 50 million euros is a sensitive issue as Stuttgart has not yet communicated any intentions to sell.

A look at the U21 European Championships

At the U21 European Championships, Woltemade not only attracted the attention of Bayern. With his impressive performances, he could equal the record for most goals at a U21 finals. In just four games he shone with outstanding statistics, which also earned him the title of “top scorer”. In the Bundesliga he was able to score 20 goals in 22 starting eleven appearances, which is a remarkable rate.

FC Bayern's sporting managers, including sporting director Christoph Freund, see Woltemade as more than just a backup for star striker Harry Kane. Woltemade could establish himself in the role of “hybrid” player similar to Thomas Müller, who played 47 competitive games last season but is unlikely to be part of the squad anymore.

The challenges in the transfer summer

However, there are also challenges in the transfer market. Difficulties in signing other players such as Nico Williams or Rayan Cherki could mean that Bayern could strike at Woltemade more quickly. He is also viewed internally as a valuable reinforcement at the number 10 position or as a hanging front, underlining his flexibility and versatility.

The question remains whether Bayern are prepared to pay the high transfer fee and whether Woltemade should take the plunge into the Bundesliga now or whether it would make more sense for him to complete a full season as a regular striker in Stuttgart. One thing is clear, however: There is great interest in Woltemade and his future is being watched with excitement by both Stuttgart and Bayern.
