The 23-year-old German striker is keen to join Bayern immediately, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Woltemade, a towering 6'6" forward with remarkable technical ability, has agreed personal terms with Bayern for a five-year contract until 2030, with salary details already finalized.

Bayern's supervisory board have given the green light to the deal, signaling their intent to secure the versatile attacker who can play as a striker, second striker, or attacking midfielder.

"Nick Woltemade is a very interesting German player," Bayern's sporting director Christoph Freund said earlier this year, confirming the club's long-standing admiration for the U-21 international.

The young striker's standout season, where he scored 17 goals across all competitions and helped Stuttgart win the DFB-Pokal, has made him one of Europe's hottest prospects.

His six goals and three assists in four matches at the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship further boosted his profile, drawing interest from clubs like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Liverpool.

However, Stuttgart are digging in their heels to keep their star man. With Woltemade's contract running until 2028 and no release clause, the Swabians hold a strong position. They have set an asking price of 60 million euros, reflecting his skyrocketing value after a breakthrough season.

"Nick is our player, and he'll play football with us next season as well," Stuttgart CEO Alexander Wehrle said, emphasizing their determination to retain Woltemade.

Recent updates on X reveal the intensity of Bayern's pursuit. "Nick Woltemade has decided to join Bayern and rejected Stuttgart's renewal offer," posted @iMiaSanMia
, citing intensive talks between Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl and Woltemade's agent Danny Bachmann. Stuttgart, however, remain defiant, with sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth stating, "We are far from worrying about his staying at VfB."

Bayern see Woltemade as a long-term investment, potentially as a successor to Harry Kane, whose contract runs until 2027. The Bavarians' strategy of snapping up Bundesliga talent continues, but prising Woltemade away from Stuttgart will require tough negotiations and a hefty fee.

As the transfer window heats up, all eyes are on whether Bayern can land their man or if Stuttgart can hold firm.
