Overview

• Woltemade has signaled his willingness to join Bayern after agreeing verbal terms and managerial assurances of regular first-team football in Munich.
• Stuttgart insists the 23-year-old striker is not for sale and demands a fee approaching €100 million, more than double Bayern’s current valuation.
• Bayern coach Vincent Kompany has offered Woltemade a guaranteed starting role as part of efforts to bridge the negotiation gap.
• Analysts remain divided on whether the young striker’s rise justifies a move to a top club following only 17 Bundesliga starts.
• Chelsea and Atlético Madrid have also expressed tentative interest, adding competitive pressure should talks with Bayern falter.
