Stuttgart reject Bayern’s latest offer worth €60m for Nick Woltemade | OneFootball

Bayern Munich have seen a fresh bid worth €60 million for Nick Woltemade turned down by Stuttgart (h/t journalist Florian Plettenberg).

The Bavarians have failed to find a breakthrough in their continuous negotiations with Stuttgart, despite reaching a verbal agreement with Woltemade.

After back-to-back failed bids, Bayern raised their offer to €60 million plus add-ons and a potential sell-on clause for Stuttgart, but it was quickly rebuffed by their German counterpart.

VfB are steadfast on their €75 million valuation, and the Bavarians have no intention of bridging the gap.

Woltemade was also willing to waive part of his salary to facilitate the move to Bayern, but to no avail.

With Stuttgart reportedly setting a deadline for Bayern before this weekend’s Super Cup final, the deal is on the verge of falling apart.

Woltemade’s agent Danny Bachmann has hit out at the Stuttgart board for playing a hardball game.

He pointed out that the club had previously agreed to release the German youngster without any hassle when a substantial offer arrives for the next step in his career.

The odds are that Woltemade will remain at Stuttgart next season since there have been no concrete proposals from suitors elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Bayern have shortlisted Christopher Nkunku as an alternative target to bolster the attack.

Chelsea are insisting on a permanent sale for the French forward, who is also wanted by Inter Milan and RB Leipzig.

The Bundesliga giants have splurged €75 million for Colombian winger Luis Diaz in this window, making him the club’s third most expensive signing ever.

Kingsley Coman is set to leave Bayern after eight years for Saudi Pro League giants Al Nassr in a €30m deal.
