Frozen at training: is grumpy Woltemade on his way out of VfB? | OneFootball

A few days ago, Nick Woltemade joined the team training of VfB Stuttgart. Just under 60 kilometers from the Munich Allianz Arena, the Swabians are preparing for the new season. However, talks about a possible Woltemade transfer are still not happening.

This is also said to be causing frustration for the player himself. His mood is "extremely bad," according to a report in 'Bild'. He has repeatedly gone to the VfB bosses in recent days to make his position clear: He wants to move to Bayern without fail. He is hoping for a change of mind from those in charge, who currently do not want to engage in talks with the record champions regarding a transfer.

As 'Sport1' also reported, Woltemade appeared "stone-faced upon his arrival at the Swabians' team after his special vacation following the U21 European Championship, no laughter, no joking." He seemed to be trying in training, but it was noticeable that he received few passes from his teammates.

"Of course it's in his head, it's not easy when you see your face in the newspapers every day. There's enormous pressure on him, it started at the European Championship," VfB colleague Ermedin Demirovic said about the Woltemade rumors to 'Sport1'.

Can Woltemade persuade the VfB bosses to change their minds? According to 'Sportbild', the Swabians are considering a deadline until the Franz Beckenbauer Cup. If there is no satisfactory offer by then, the transfer could be off the table anyway. No matter how high any further offer would be.

Can Woltemade force a move to FC Bayern? What do you think? Feel free to write your opinion in the comments.
