Bayern Pause Woltemade Pursuit After Stuttgart Rejects Talks

Max Eberl says Bayern’s roster is set after Luis Díaz’s signing and only a major shift in circumstances would revive Woltemade negotiations before the window closes.

Overview

  • Max Eberl confirmed on August 8 that a move for Nick Woltemade is currently off the table after VfB Stuttgart declined to enter negotiations.
  • Eberl maintained that transfer activity remains possible until September 1, emphasizing there is no definitive stop on talks.
  • Following the €70 million arrival of Luis Díaz and other summer signings, Bayern’s leadership sees no pressing need for further additions.
  • Stuttgart rejected Bayern’s reported €50 million plus €5 million in bonuses offer and Sporting Director Fabian Wohlgemuth expects Woltemade to stay under contract through 2028.
  • The standoff highlights Bundesliga’s rising fees as Stuttgart leverages Woltemade’s U21-EM top scorer status and long-term deal to demand a premium valuation.
