Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade has reportedly cancelled meetings with Chelsea and Napoli as he only wants to join Bayern Munich this summer.
The 23-year-old has agreed personal terms with Vincent Kompany’s side and Bayern are now pushing to finalise a deal with Stuttgart, who currently value the Germany star at a whopping €100 million.
Bayern view him as the perfect long-term successor to Harry Kane and Woltemade is determined to finalise a move to the Allianz Arena, despite the fact he may play a back-up role to the England captain during his debut campaign.
In fact, his entourage have even cancelled transfer meetings with both Chelsea and Napoli due to his desire to join Bayern.
That is according to BILD journalist Christian Falk, who has claimed that Woltemade’s camp have officially ended talks with Chelsea and Napoli.
Bayern confirm Nick Woltemade interest
Bayern’s interest in Woltemade has been confirmed by Max Eberl, the club’s sporting director, who told DAZN (via GOAL): “We’re playing in the Club World Cup, and yet the transfer window is approaching.
“We want to put together the squad for next season and the coming years. Nick Woltemade, with his development, is definitely a player we’re thinking about. And we’ll see what’s possible.
“We’ll continue with our transfers calmly, and if the prices are unrealistic, then we have to accept that and move on to another target player.
“That’s perfectly normal in this business. There are no rejections. There’s a plan, and we’re trying to implement it with the resources we have. And if it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t work.”
Talks between Bayern and Stuttgart are ongoing, and Woltemade is eager to join the reigning Bundesliga champions this summer.
