Tick-Tock, Bayern! Woltemade Sets Transfer Ultimatum

Stuttgart’s ace striker, Nick Woltemade, is playing hardball. He’s seeking a clear answer from Bayern Munich about his potential transfer. And guess what? He’s set a deadline for the Bundesliga champs to make their move.

Woltemade’s Countdown

As reported by Sport.de, the 23-year-old striker and his team are pushing for clarity on his future before the week wraps up. If Bayern doesn’t get its act together, Woltemade is ready to stick with Stuttgart and consider his options next summer.

Bayern is certainly interested, but they seem to have hit a brick wall in negotiations. Stuttgart turned down their recent bid of €50 million (£43m/$55m), plus €5m in add-ons. Stuttgart’s stance? It’ll take a jaw-dropping offer to convince them to part ways with their striker.

Bayern’s Big Picture

Bayern recently shelled out big bucks for Luis Diaz from Liverpool, with a hefty price tag of up to €75m (£66m/$88m). While Diaz will add muscle to the flanks, Bayern is still on the hunt for a central striker. And Woltemade is high on their wishlist.

Woltemade became a part of Stuttgart after a free transfer from Werder Bremen last summer. His value has skyrocketed following a sensational breakout season, netting 17 goals across all competitions, and even scoring in the DFB-Pokal final.

A Word from Teammate Deniz Undav

Stuttgart forward Deniz Undav is publicly backing his teammate. He shared that he reached out to Woltemade before the preseason, advising him to “block out the noise and stay focused,” as transfer rumors continue to swirl.

What’s Next for Nick Woltemade?

With the DFL-Supercup match against Bayern on August 16 on the horizon, Woltemade is eager to have his future locked down before he steps onto the pitch. It’s Bayern Munich’s move now. If they don’t meet Stuttgart’s asking price, they risk missing out on one of Germany’s brightest attacking talents.
