VfB Stuttgart also shows no interest in handing over its top striker Nick Woltemade to FC Bayern Munich. “Nick will also be part of the squad with a very, very high probability this season,” said sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth at the start of the Swabian training camp in Rottach-Egern.

Woltemade makes a “motivated impression,” said Wohlgemuth. The team was looking forward to returning the striker. Last Saturday morning he had a “longer” and “good conversation” with the 23-year-old. It should also have been about the transfer to Bayern, who was aimed at by Woltemade, but Wohlgemuth did not want to publicly confirm that.
Wohlgemuth has not yet received an invitation from Bayern sports director Max Eberl or honorary president Uli Hoeneß, both of whom live in the immediate vicinity. In any case, it has always been said in the past few weeks that VfB managers are currently not ready to meet the Bayern bosses personally. So far, Stuttgart is said to have rejected two offers for Woltemade. A first offer was 40 million euros plus 5 million euros in bonuses, a second at 50 million plus 5 million euros in possible additional payments.
Woltemade back in the circle of Stuttgart colleagues
VfB is preparing for the new Bundesliga season at Tegernsee in the coming days. When arriving at noon, Woltemade got out of the bus, got his roller case, briefly stopped at the fans for an autograph and a photo and then disappeared in the hotel. Later he competed with his colleagues in a pouring rain a first unit on the lawn. Woltemade, who would like to switch to Bayern despite the contract until 2028 and deposited this wish with the VfB bosses a long time ago, is back in the circle of his Stuttgart teammates.
On Saturday he completed the usual performance diagnostics and fitness tests. The 23-year-old had previously had vacation because of his missions at the Nations League final tournament and at the U21 European Championship. VfB still has almost three weeks until the first competitive game of the new season. In the Supercup, the DFB Cup winner will meet the German champion Bayern Munich on August 16 in the home stadium. It is still questionable on which side Woltemade then plays.
VfB change candidate Millot on Lake Tegernsee-Zagadou not
The Frenchman Enzo Millot, who is supposed to be faced with ATlético Madrid, is also part of Lake Tegern. The midfielder was still released for the test against Celta Vigo (2-1) on Saturday. Give him the time to make the right decision, said Wohlgemuth. Millot has several options. This could take “days, possibly also weeks”.

Defender Dan-Axel Zagadou has not traveled to the training camp. The Frenchman, which was already plagued by numerous injuries in his career, has knee problems. VfB coach Sebastian Hoeneß had recently struck to be too dramatic. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old completes an individual program in Stuttgart. However, this is a “pure precaution” that nothing structural is broken.
