Bayern Munich is eyeing a substantial transfer for Woltemade.
Firing Up the Transfer Market: Stuttgart Sticks to Its Guns Regarding Nick Woltemade's 100 Million Euro Transfer Fee
The poker game between FC Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart for the uber-talented Nick Woltemade is heating up. With VfB Stuttgart making it crystal clear: They ain’t letting their U21 star go cheap. According to the "Kicker," "Stuttgarter Zeitung," and "Stuttgarter Nachrichten," the Swabians are demanding a hefty 100 million euros for the versatile forward, and they're only chatting with Bayern if the price is right.
Woltemade, who'll be under the spotlight again at the U21 Euro final against England this Saturday, already agreed verbally to a transfer to the German record champions. However, Stuttgart is drawing a line — even with a contract that runs until 2028. It was already reported on Friday evening that the club is dead-set on keeping its top striker, unless a club comes up with an insanely attractive offer.
Woltemade Makes His Way to Stuttgart on a Free Transfer
Woltemade joined Stuttgart from Werder Bremen last summer on a free transfer. After an iffy start, the 23-year-old caught fire, scoring six goals and setting up three more at the ongoing Euro tournament. Even Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann took notice and called him up to the senior national team for the first time in June.
Spicy Question About Bayern Agreement - Woltemade's Take
Woltemade isn’t dishing about his future plans just yet. At the U21 national team's press conference, he stonewalled questions about his sporting future, emphasizing his sole focus on the Euro final. But one thing’s for sure: With his red-hot performances, he's made it onto the wish-lists of several European top clubs, and Stuttgart holds the winning hand.
