Woltemade hype: FC Bayern wants U21 talent despite Stuttgart resistance!
Nick Woltemade, the current U21 European Championship top scorer, is at the center of a high-profile transfer puzzle between VfB Stuttgart and FC Bayern Munich. After his strong performance in the European Championship, in which he scored six goals, the 23-year-old striker is in great demand. But the situation is complex, as ran.de reports.
Bayern Munich is showing keen interest in Woltemade, and Max Eberl, the club's sporting director, confirmed their efforts to secure the player. However, the situation is complicated by Stuttgart's clear stance: the club's management has emphasized that they are not willing to give up the talented attacker bundesliga.com. They aim to have a clear plan with Woltemade for the coming season.
The transfer circus
On July 3, Woltemade found itself in a delicate negotiating position. Bayern had not yet made an official offer, while Stuttgart are demanding a fee of 80 million euros. Bayern, for their part, are prepared to pay a maximum of 50 million. In a further step, the Munich team considered loaning Woltemade back to Stuttgart in order to defuse the negotiations, but the player personally favors an immediate move to Bayern.
It's a classic case of "there's something in the air." Eberl made it clear that there had been no serious discussions with Stuttgart so far and that Woltemade remained a current VfB player. Nevertheless, rumors about a possible agreement gave the competitor pause. Woltemade himself remained cautious about the speculation and wanted to concentrate on the final of the U21 European Championship, in which he played with Germany against England.
Statistics and achievements
Over the course of the 2024/25 season, Woltemade impressed with 12 goals and 2 assists in the Bundesliga and 5 goals in the DFB Cup, which underlines his performance on the pitch. Thanks to his form, he was also called up to the senior national team. His contract with VfB Stuttgart runs until 2028 after he moved from Werder Bremen on a free transfer in 2024, making negotiations all the more complicated.
The transfer activities in the Bundesliga also show an interesting dynamic: In this transfer period there were a total of 186 additions and 144 departures, with a transfer volume of over 348 million euros for new arrivals. A look at the current transfer balance shows that the clubs have had an overall positive financial performance. These developments are particularly revealing due to the high demands and expectations placed on players like Woltemade, as data from transfermarkt.de shows.
The coming weeks will be crucial, not only for Woltemade, but also for the further transfer activities of the top German clubs. Whether he actually makes the jump to Bayern Munich remains to be seen as fans continue to watch developments with interest.
