Season › 2024-25 › News The Rumour Mill Everton-linked Nick Woltemade nearing move to Bayern Anjishnu Roy | 27/06/2025 9comments | Jump to last Nick Woltemade, heavily linked with Everton during this month, has opted to join Bayern Munich. The 6’6” VfB Stuttgart striker apparently has a verbal agreement with the German champions but Stuttgart are also eager to keep him, according to transfer journalist Florian Plettenberg. “FC Bayern and Nick Woltemade have reached a full verbal agreement on a summer transfer,” Plettenberg tweeted. “The 23 y/o versatile striker wants to join Bayern with immediate effect. Long-term contract until 2030 with salary terms already agreed in the last days. Bayern’s supervisory board have already approved the deal. “There have been no negotiations between the clubs yet. The contract with VfB is valid until 2028, with no release clause. VfB want to keep him.” The 23-year-old is with the German national team at the U21 European Championship. He has scored six goals in four games and is set to face England in the final on Saturday. Woltemade had been an option for the Blues before they turned their sights towards Thierno Barry of Villarreal instead. Barry favours a move to the Premier League and recent reports suggest that Everton are currently negotiating with his club to pay an amount lower than his release clause.

Disclaimer () John Graham 1 Posted 27/06/2025 at 11:22:25 Was never going to happen.Too high profile and wanted by a big line of clubs.Going to get very busy next week with ins and outs get the revolving doors oiled. Frank Crewe 2 Posted 27/06/2025 at 15:30:11 Every time he scored it put more millions on his price. We need regular Champions League football before players like this will sign for us. Robert Tressell 3 Posted 28/06/2025 at 08:28:52 Frank # 2, we need more money and Champions League football to attract these sorts of players once they are delivering on the international stage.However, with a bit of imagination, we can pick up players like this a touch earlier in their careers. Stuttgart got Woltemade on a free last summer after he scored 2 in 30 for Werder Bremen during the 2023-24 season. Michael Kenrick 4 Posted 28/06/2025 at 08:45:40 So much clickbait claptrap…VfB Stuttgart sporting director, Fabian Wohlgemuth has made it clear Woltemade is not for sale this summer.“The fact that this development hasn't gone unnoticed and that we now read about interest from other clubs almost every day doesn't change the fact that Nick's journey with us is far from over,” he told Bild.“We are firmly planning with Nick and we want to benefit from his sporting qualities in the coming year as well. There's no alternative scenario for this.” Mike Gaynes 5 Posted 28/06/2025 at 17:12:04 Michael #5, maybe not. Stuttgart's outrage and Woltemade's possible agreement to join Bayern are not mutually exclusive, and Manuel Veth in Forbes reports they are both possibly true -- which would mean Bayern tampered with the player. And as we know, there's nothing that can't be bought when the likes of Bayern come calling. Veth's suggested price tag of €80 million would be more than double Stuttgart's previous record transfer and would be all one-year pure profit, since they signed the kid for nothing. That kind of money can change a club's entire trajectory in a hurry. In the end it will be a hard temptation to resist. Paul Kossoff 6 Posted 28/06/2025 at 23:57:09 He looked like a worse version of Peter "Oh, I've been caught again" Crouch.He's a 6ft-5in basketball player, or may as well be. We really need this new look set of recruits assembly to get new players in quick. We let Chermiti go to Stoke and when Calvert-Lewin goes, we need two strikers in. How many keepers do we have now that have Premier League experience? The red shite have just got a 28-year-old keeper in from Preston for free, I think they have four in since they sold the reserve to Brentford. If Pickford gets injured we are fucked! Come on, Davey, pick the phone up and get the players in you want, don't wait for Mr Masters mate Kinnear to do his job. Ed Prytherch 7 Posted 29/06/2025 at 02:46:16 Paul - or a Kieffer Moore Michael Kenrick 8 Posted 29/06/2025 at 11:47:40 That bloke Fabrizio Romano claiming that Bayern Munich have reached an agreement on personal terms ahead of a 5-year deal for Woltemade.We don't want no stinking loser! Martin Berry 9 Posted 29/06/2025 at 13:26:04 Bayern are obviously aware of the best talent in the Bundesliga, and they were always going to be in there pitching if they fancied the player, and in turn the player would find it hard to turn down there interest.I will be happy if we sign Barry and have Beto and maybe another.I feel that the Champagne is going to explode out of the bottle in July, and that secretly (in some cases) deals are well underway, and we have several player signings in a short space of time to make your head spin.I also expect to see exciting branding of Everton appearing at HDS, and news that we have a deal with Peel to purchase Nelson Dock.Theres opti for you.
