Reschke on Woltemade: "Bayern have really stuck their neck out" | OneFootball

The transfer saga surrounding Nick Woltemade is officially over – at least according to VfB boss Alexander Wehrle. However, former Bayern manager Michael Reschke does not completely rule out a comeback of the negotiations.

Prior to the Franz-Beckenbauer-Supercup on Saturday, Wehrle spoke clearly: "Nick Woltemade is our player and will play for us this year. The matter is closed. Bayern Munich knows that. We have communicated that jointly."

With that, the poker game for the offensive all-rounder, whom Bayern wanted to lure with an offer of 60 million euros plus bonuses and a share of the resale value, seemed to be finally over. The record champion had been rejected and subsequently focused on Christopher Nkunku from FC Chelsea – but this deal is also threatening to fail.

Reschke: Only an "unreasonable" offer could tempt VfB

For Michael Reschke, the situation is clear: "Bayern Munich has already made a significant effort. The offer made by FC Bayern is already very valuable. But with all of Alexander Wehrle's statements: if something completely unreasonable comes up now, VfB would certainly be willing to negotiate."

At the same time, the 67-year-old emphasized on Sky that he personally no longer expects a transfer: "The Bayern have already leaned out of the window a long way. The Woltemade party has also met the Munich team halfway, but the Bayern have now set a limit that will not be exceeded. I no longer expect a transfer this summer."

Matthäus sees it similarly

Sky expert Lothar Matthäus also assessed the situation similarly in his column. According to him, a transfer of the Stuttgart shooting star is not completely ruled out, but the signs clearly point to him staying with VfB.

In conclusion: as long as the transfer window is open, the Woltemade issue will remain a topic – it will probably only be off the table after Deadline Day. Until then, Max Eberl will likely continue to hope that the Bayern offense will finally get the desired new signing.
