The change from Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart to Bayern has burst. Alleged internal email now reveal details about the negotiations.

It is the summer of summer: the tug of war around Nick Woltemade between FC Bayern and VfB Stuttgart. As part of the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup last Saturday, the Stuttgart managers declared the negotiations for final ends for the CEO Alexander Wehrle and sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth. Woltemade will also play for Stuttgart in the coming season.

As internal emails who wants to have received the “Bild” newspaper, but now prove, the Stuttgart managers have probably made it clear much earlier that they would not hand in Woltemade. According to the “Bild” report, the first round of negotiations took place on July 8, but to the surprise of the VfB bosses without the Bayern managers presenting specific figures.

On July 10, the German record champion is said to have submitted a first written offer of 40 million euros plus five million possible bonuses. Stuttgart rejected the offer a day later. According to the “picture”, Wehrle and Wohlgemuth had already asked in the corresponding email to advertise the Woltemade.

Literally it is said to have been said: “Thank you for your proposal. The deviation to our ideas is so fundamentally that we have to describe the chance of an agreement as absolutely unrealistic.” As an argument, they stated that the “sporting loss was far more serious” than the Bayern offer “estimates added value”. Then the crucial sentence: “For this reason we would like to end the conversations. We ask you to refrain from further attempts to advertise.”

FC Bayern apparently did not get small and sent the next offer on July 15, this time over 50 million euros, five million euros bonuses and a ten percent share share. This offer was also rejected only a day later – just like a personal meeting proposed by Bayern.

Literally it is said to have said in the corresponding email: “Our approach to forego personal conversations is due to the fact that we are too far apart. Your latest offer does not change that.” This time the club bosses are said to have duked themselves. At Bavaria’s CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen it is said to have said in the email: “We ask you to respect our position.”
