Overview
- Stuttgart rejected Bayern’s latest offer of approximately €60 million plus add-ons and a sell-on clause, insisting on a €75 million fee before the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup kickoff.
- A video conference between Bayern’s Jan-Christian Dreesen, Max Eberl and Christoph Freund and Stuttgart’s Alexander Wehrle, Fabian Wohlgemuth and Christian Gentner failed to close the valuation gap.
- Nick Woltemade’s agent, Danny Bachmann, publicly called Stuttgart’s supervisory board’s €75 million demand “unmarketable” and said it contradicted earlier commitments to find a solution.
- Bayern’s supervisory board vetoed a proposed €30 million sale of Kingsley Coman to Al Nassr, keeping Coman at the club and heightening the need for a striker reinforcement.
- Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku remains on Bayern’s shortlist as a potential alternative through the September transfer deadline.
