Overview

• Bayern submitted a first formal offer of €40 million plus up to €5 million in bonuses for Woltemade.
• VfB Stuttgart immediately turned down the proposal, insisting on a roughly €80 million fee.
• The rejection follows Bayern’s decision to scrap a planned loan deal after Jamal Musiala suffered an injury.
• Stuttgart holds firm leverage with Woltemade under contract until 2028 without any release clause.
• No direct negotiations have been scheduled, heightening pressure on Bayern to shore up their attacking options.
