Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade has reportedly cancelled meetings with both Chelsea and Napoli because he only wants to sign for Bayern Munich this summer.
The 23-year-old has agreed personal terms with Vincent Kompany’s side and Bayern Munich are now working to finalise a deal with Stuttgart, who currently value the German star at a whopping €100 million.

Woltemade scored 17 goals in 33 appearances for Stuttgart last season, and he recently won the Golden Boot at the European Under-21 Championship with six goals in five games as Germany reached the final – before losing 3-2 to England.
Bayern see him as the perfect successor to Harry Kane
Bayern consider him the ideal long-term replacement for Harry Kane, and Woltemade is determined to complete a move to the Allianz Arena – despite the fact that he could become a reserve for the England captain in his first season.
In fact, his team has already cancelled transfer meetings with both Chelsea and Napoli due to his desire to join Bayern.
This comes according to BILD journalist Christian Falk, who has claimed that Woltemade’s representatives have officially ended negotiations with Chelsea and Napoli.
Bayern confirm interest in Nick Woltemade
Bayern’s interest in Woltemade has been confirmed by the club’s sporting director Max Eberl, who told DAZN:
“We will play in the Club World Cup, but the transfer window is approaching. We want to build up the squad for next season and the coming years. Nick Woltemade, with his development, is definitely a player we are considering. And we’ll see what’s possible.
“We continue with our transfers calmly, and if the prices are unrealistic, we have to accept it and move on to another goalkeeper. That is completely normal in this industry. There is no rejection – it is a plan, and we try to carry it out with the resources we have. If it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t work.
Negotiations between Bayern and Stuttgart are ongoing, and Woltemade is eager to be part of the reigning Bundesliga champions this summer.
