Overview

• VfB Stuttgart has rejected FC Bayern’s most recent offer of €50 million plus €5 million in bonuses and declined further written bids.
• FC Bayern’s leadership under Jan-Christian Dreesen and Max Eberl will only improve its proposal in direct, face-to-face discussions.
• Stuttgart CEO Alexander Wehrle and Sporting Director Fabian Wohlgemuth uphold a strict “no talk, no sale” policy backed by their supervisory board majority.
• Stuttgart’s record 2024 revenues of €299.8 million and profits of €15.4 million give the club the financial freedom to hold out for an exceptional fee.
• Both clubs will reconvene at Stuttgart’s Tegernsee training camp starting July 28, where Bayern hopes in-person talks can break the deadlock.
