Bayern Munich are expected to submit a second offer to Stuttgart for Nick Woltemade, with the Bundesliga champions hoping to exceed €65m to secure the 23-year-old attacker’s services.
Bayern Munich are set to make a second offer to Stuttgart for Nick Woltemade, the 23-year-old attacker who has been a key player for the Swabian club.
The Bundesliga champions submitted an initial offer of €45m including bonuses, which Stuttgart rejected as it fell short of their valuation of Woltemade, which stands at around €80m.
Stuttgart’s strong negotiating position, combined with Woltemade’s contract running until 2028, means that Bayern Munich will need to come up with a significantly improved offer to secure the player’s services.
According to reports, Bayern Munich’s second offer is expected to exceed €65m, which would prompt Stuttgart to discuss internally whether the fee is enough to warrant ‘sit down’ talks with the Bundesliga champions.
While Stuttgart would ideally like to keep Woltemade, the club is open to selling him if the offer is right. The player’s Germany international status and impressive performances for Stuttgart have made him a target for several top clubs, including Bayern Munich.
The transfer saga began earlier this month when Bayern Munich held an online meeting with Stuttgart to express their interest in Woltemade. The Bundesliga champions followed up with an offer, which was swiftly rejected by Stuttgart. Bayern Munich is determined to sign Woltemade, and their second offer is expected to be more substantial than the initial €45m bid.
