After Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams, Nick Woltemade became the latest tragedy as Stuttgart\u2019s bosses have officially decided to keep the German attacker for the 2025\/26 campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">According to Fabrizio Romano (via <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iMiaSanMia\/status\/1956863927977181222\" rel=\"nofollow\">@iMiaSanMia<\/a>), Bayern\u2019s management team will immediately pivot to the next attacker on the transfer board.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">After the Nick Woltemade deal collapsed, Bayern are now going strong on Christopher Nkunku and will advance for the Frenchman. Contact with Chelsea has been ongoing every day for the past 4-5 days. Not a done deal yet, but negotiations are advancing. Nkunku wants the move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">After scoring double digit goals in back-to-back seasons at Red Bull Leipzig and being name dthe 2021\/22 Bundesliga Player of the Season, Nkunku\u2019s tenure at Chelsea FC has been less desirable. After two seasons in London, Nkunku only has six goals in 38 appearances and 11 starts. Chelsea are looking to recoup at least half of the \u20ac60M fee that was paid two years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If Vincent Kompany can breathe life back into Nkunku\u2019s career, this could be a valuable addition. However, Nkunku\u2019s critics believe that he is past his prime and will become another overpaid, unsellable, and aging attacker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bayern Munich\u2019s summer transfer window has been characterized by prolonged and disappointing transfer negotiations with high priority targets.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[57079,15988,403,99],"class_list":["post-89883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-bayern-munich-transfer-news-and-rumors","tag-bayern-munich-bundesliga","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
