Bayern Munich’s pursuit of VfB Stuttgart attacker Nick Woltemade has hit a wall.
VfB Stuttgart will not even consider stepping to the negotiating table unless an offer of €65 million is presented. For Nick Woltemade’s agent Danny Bachmann, this has been disappointing.
“When a Bundesliga record offer of €55 million isn’t even enough for a face-to-face meeting, the question arises as to what VfB actually considers ‘extraordinary’. This was unforeseeable,” Bachmann told Deutschen Presse-Agentur (as captured by Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg).
Plettenberg would add more context as well:
As of this morning, there has still been no third offer from FC Bayern. VfB Stuttgart waiting. Most recently, an offer €50m euros fixed + €5m in add-ons + 10% sell-on clause was rejected.
There is still plenty of time left in the transfer window, but dragging this out would not benefit Bayern Munich or Woltemade. Clearly, VfB STuttgart is not going to get bullied into taking anything less than what it wants.
The careers of Liverpool FC’s Luis Diaz and Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl could end up intertwined if the transfer move goes through. Meanwhile, is the rest of the Bundesliga sick of being bullied by Bayern Munich and is the league bleeding too much talent? Also, Paul Wanner and Lennart Karl could be in line for opportunities during the preseason…can the youngster take advantage of those chances? Finally, the father of Florian Wirtz talks through how the decision to join Liverpool played out and you can hear how HBO screwed BPW this week.
