A transfer to FC Bayern would give Nick Woltemade a salary increase of 5.5 million to 9.5 million euros, according to the “Sport Bild” information, and VfB Stuttgart a record transfer. The center forward, who moved from Werder Bremen to the Swabians in the summer of 2024, signed a contract dated until 2028, which should bring him EUR 1.5 million per season – he would, according to Munich, earn 7 million to a maximum of EUR 11 million gross.

He would currently be classified in the Bayern squad in terms of salary in the lower half. For comparison: national player Aleksandar Pavlovic receives around 7 million euros, Konrad Laimer 9 million and Michael Olise 13 million euros. Until this happens, sports director Max Eberl and club director Jan-Christian Dreesen with VfB have to agree on a transfer. “Nick Woltemade is an incredibly intelligent boy. He will not like it if something like that was installed with an astronomical sum,” said Eberl last. While the Munich residents have a transfer of around 50 million euros, it was reported that VfB was thinking of EUR 100 million.
What Bayern coach Vincent Kompany thinks about the 1.98 meter tall center forward, he said in a conversation during the U21 European Championship via video call, according to the “Sport Bild”, in which Eberl also took part. Accordingly, FC Bayern is planning with Woltemade and Harry Kane in the starting eleven-the VfB professional would therefore not take a seat on the reserve bank when changing.
VfB offered 67 percent more salary-Woltemade consultant declined
This view is said to have convinced the 23-year-old-the VfB managers apparently learned about the agreement between the player and the record champions about the media like every football fan on Thursday evening. It was promptly made clear that you would plan with Woltemade. This was previously made to extend the contract, which provided a salary increase of 67 percent to EUR 2.5 million. The offer was made by Woltemades Agency Headtrick GmbH & Co. KG around consultant Danny Bachmann rejected.
“I don’t think Stuttgart wants to rip off us,” said Eberl, who commutes between austerity and top transfer this summer. Bayern only cracked the 50 million mark six times-most recently in 2024 for Michael Olise (53 million | Crystal Palace) and João Palhinha (51 million | Fulham). VfB has never been in such a transfer spheres. The Munich -based team made twice for the record departures of the Swabians: In the summer of 2009, Mario Gómez, a then 23 -year -old German national striker, switched to Säbener Strasse for 30 million euros. This record lasted ten years before Benjamin Pavard was sold for EUR 35 million in 2019. At that time, VfB was a relegation, today a cup winner with European ambitions.
