According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, VfB Stuttgart essentially told Bayern Munich not to waste their time with weak offers for Nick Woltemade:

Having been rejected by several transfer targets this summer, Bayern Munich are looking closer to home for attacking reinforcements.

Bayern are attempting to prise the centre-forward away from VfB this summer. However, Sky Deutschland says their latest offer of €40m plus €5m in bonuses has fallen short of VfB's valuation. The Swabians are insisting Woltemade won't leave for less than €80m. Woltemade's deal runs to 2028 and doesn't carry a buyout clause.

The trio are said to be allowed to leave if the club receives suitable offers. Meanwhile, Spanish publication OK Diario have also shared an update regarding the future of Rodrygo, claiming that both Arsenal and Chelsea have 'approached' the winger's agent in 'recent weeks.'

Bayern Munich have made their first formal move to sign Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade with an opening bid, according to Sky Germany. Their opening bid is reported to be a guaranteed €40 million to be paid in four instalments plus add-ons. Stuttgart immediately rejected the offer, deeming it well below their €80m valuation of the player.

Bayern Munich have been dealt another major blow in this summer's transfer window after Stuttgart rejected their bid for forward Nick Woltemade.
