Sports director Bayern Munich, Max Eberl, admitted that the process of recruiting Nick Woltemade was almost freezing and was now brushed aside.
Bayern let go of the gun in the Nick Woltemade deal
Bayern's summer transfer has passed without much smoothness. They failed to Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams, respectively before completing the Luis Diaz deal from Liverpool. Nick Woltemade was once considered the next big goal, even “Gray Lobster” reached an individual agreement with a 23 -year -old striker. But Stuttgart resolutely rejected all offers, or demanded the highest price possible, or kept his star for another season.

Last season, Woltemade exploded in the Stuttgart shirt and was very expected to dock this summer Arena. However, what makes both players and Bayern pressing is that Stuttgart does not even bother to respond to the moves to buy from the current Bundesliga champion 2024/25. Eberl confirmed that after Diaz, Bayern stabilized the force and would wait for the pillars to return in October, instead of rushing to the market.
Speaking after the match, Eberl said: “We talked enough about this deal. Bayern tried, but Stuttgart did not show goodwill to negotiate. Therefore, for us, everything was closed. The market was still open until September 1 and there was always fluctuations, but currently we are proactive, the squad is ready, and will see what happens.”
On Woltemade's side, he still tried to contact the Stuttgart leader to promote the deal, but the team just won the German Cup 2024 was still tough. They only accepted to hear more before the German Super Cup against Bayern on August 17, then locked the door and kept this striker at all costs.
