Nick Woltemade transfer 'simply not relevant' as Stuttgart remain 'clear' on Bayern Munich interest in German striker after Luis Diaz agreement

<p>After turning down two bids for Woltemade from Bayern, Stuttgart sporting director Wohlgemuth believes that an "early transfer" of the young striker is not a relevant issue, insisting that the club remain focused on starting the new season on a bright note, with the 23-year-old fully a part of their plans.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Bavarian giants submitted two bids over the last few weeks, with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bayern-munich-rejected-new-bid-nick-woltemade-stuttgart-team-mate-understands-why-striker-transfer/bltc43628d1b277378e" target="_blank">latest bid worth €50 million (£43m/$58m) plus €5m in bonuses</a>. However, Stuttgart have been defiant, paying no heed to Bayern's interest in one of their star turners. Negotiations with Stuttgart have been extremely difficult, as evidenced by the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/stuttgart-demand-bayern-munich-stop-talking-nick-woltemade-send-email-rivals-first-bid-rejected/blt7e15b6454bfc39ad" target="_blank">fiery exchanges that took place over emails</a>. Die Schwaben remain insistent on considering bids worth at least €65m (£56m/$75m). <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/nick-woltemade-transfer-off-bayern-munich-give-up-target-shut-down-bids-nico-williams-florian-wirtz-bradley-barcola/bltaac81ba845e9ba1f" target="_blank">Bayern, meanwhile, seem to have backtracked in their pursuit of the 23-year-old, unwilling to splash more than what they have already offered</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Woltemade reported for pre-season training on Monday at the camp in Tegernsee, prompting Wohlgemuth to reiterate Stuttgart's stance on the player. </p><p>The sporting director told <a href="https://sport.sky.de/fussball/artikel/vfb-boss-fabian-wohlgemuth-aeussert-sich-zum-bayern-interesse-an-woltemade/13403210/34130" target="_blank"><em>Sky</em></a>: "There is no new position. Nick will very likely be part of our squad this season as well. We have communicated this clearly and unequivocally to the public.
</p><p>"It is our responsibility to focus on what will help us start a good new season. That's why we are only dealing with relevant issues. And an early transfer for Nick under the current circumstances is simply not relevant."</p>

WHAT FABIAN WOHLGEMUTH SAID

<p>Most signs point towards Woltemade donning the Stuttgart colours next season. It is unlikely that they will match Bayern's second bid and make a sale in the final month of the transfer window. On the other hand, Die Roten will be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bayern-munich-luis-diaz-reds-eur75m-transfer-heads-for-medical-harry-kane-side/blt7f9384f0929640d6" target="_blank">buoyed by signing Luis Diaz from Liverpool</a>, although they will feel they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/harry-kane-perfect-partner-bayern-munich-overpaid-luis-diaz-ideal-winger-pair-england-captain/blt1dda6903da66f0cb" target="_blank">paid more than they ideally should have</a> after sealing a €75m (£65m/$87m) deal.</p>
