Bayern Munich Executive Criticizes Newcastle’s Woltemade Transfer Fee

Bayern Munich’s influential figure, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, has expressed his disbelief regarding the transfer fee Newcastle United paid for Nick Woltemade, referring to it as “madness.”

Potential Earnings for VfB Stuttgart

Reports from Germany suggest that VfB Stuttgart could potentially receive up to €90 million for their former striker, contingent on certain conditions being fulfilled.

Rummenigge’s Perspective

Rummenigge shared his thoughts with Welt, stating: “We had the opportunity to acquire Woltemade.”

He continued, “However, I must emphasize that FC Bayern should exercise caution and not participate in every financial extravagance.”

“I have consistently stated that our focus is on achieving sporting success while maintaining sound financial principles. We already possess an excellent squad.”

He added, “We are looking forward to this season, and once our three injured players (Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito) return, our team will be exceptional.”
