• A Stuttgart board resolution bars any talks until an offer of at least €65 million is tabled, halting negotiations after the initial bid was rebuffed
• Woltemade has given verbal consent to join Bayern; his move remains unformalized without Stuttgart’s valuation being met
• Woltemade is tied to Stuttgart until 2028 with no release clause, giving the club strong leverage in fee discussions
• Stuttgart has begun pursuing Chelsea striker Armando Broja as a potential successor despite his modest loan returns of two goals in 37 appearances and a history of serious injuries
