VfB Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade has reportedly cancelled planned meetings with both Napoli and Chelsea, because his heart is set on Bayern Munich.
The 23-year-old already has two senior caps under his belt, but impressed for Germany in the European Under-21 Championship, losing 3-2 to England in extra time during last night’s Final.
It continued from a strong campaign that saw him score 17 goals in 33 competitive appearances, along with three assists.

Woltemade has been linked with numerous clubs over the summer, including Napoli and Chelsea, to the degree that there are reports his entourage had meetings lined up with these two teams to discuss personal terms.
However, Christian Falk on CF Bayern Insider claims that the player ordered them to be cancelled because he has only one destination in mind and it is Bayern Munich.
A product of the Werder Bremen youth academy, the German joined VfB Stuttgart a year ago as a free agent and has flourished.
He stands at 6ft 6in, so is comparable in style to a far stronger Napoli target, namely Udinese centre-forward Lorenzo Lucca.
