Door really closed? Woltemade still hopeful for Bayern move! | OneFootball

Actually, the matter should have been settled long ago - but Nick Woltemade apparently hasn't completely ruled out a possible move to FC Bayern yet.

While VfB Stuttgart has already declared the 23-year-old's move to FC Bayern a failure, the player himself seems to remain hopeful.

Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg reported on Wednesday that he had "had Woltemade phone calls again today". He summarized the result of his conversations as follows: "So, I'll say this: Nick Woltemade is keeping his Bayern hopes alive until the deadline day countdown reaches zero."

The striker is therefore still speculating about a move to Munich - despite the clear rejection from Stuttgart. VfB boss Alexander Wehrle had explained at the Supercup: "The case is closed." Sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth had also emphasized that the topic was "off the table for this calendar year".

Bayern has action required in the transfer market

But Woltemade himself is probably already thinking about his next career step. A contract extension at VfB is not currently an issue. Instead, the attacker is considering a move abroad, in addition to his Bayern dream. According to BILD, he is particularly attracted to the prospect of international experience. A corresponding offer could - depending on his sporting development - become a reality as early as next year.

Bayern, on the other hand, are still looking for reinforcements for the offense. After the departure of Kingsley Coman and the stalled poker game around Christopher Nkunku, the pressure to act is great. Although sports director Christoph Freund recently indicated that they could not report any progress at the moment, he deliberately left a back door open: "The transfer window is open until September 1. Otherwise, there is no new status today."
