Nick Woltemade Transfer Twist: Germany Legend Warns Stuttgart: “Let Him Go Or Risk a Demotivated Star!”
Is it time for Stuttgart to wave goodbye to their breakout star Nick Woltemade? Bayern Munich think so. A German legend thinks so. But Stuttgart? Not convinced. Here’s the full drama.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from decades of transfer sagas, it’s this: keeping a player against his will is like making your ex attend your wedding. Awkward, uncomfortable, and absolutely not ending well.
Nick Woltemade, Stuttgart’s 6’4” rising forward, is at the centre of a brewing Bundesliga soap opera. After a breakout season where he slammed home 17 goals across all competitions and added a cheeky 6 goals and 3 assists at the U-21 Euros, Bayern Munich have come calling. And guess what? He’s already said yes to them.
Personal terms? Done and dusted.
But there’s one problem: Stuttgart director Fabian Wohlgemuth isn’t picking up the phone. His stance? “Woltemade is not for sale.”

Enter Karlheinz Forster: The Voice of Bundesliga Wisdom
Karlheinz Forster, Stuttgart legend and Euro ’80 winner with West Germany, has now weighed in and he’s got a bit of tough love for his former club.
Speaking to Sport1, Forster didn’t mince words:
“You can’t keep a player who absolutely wants to leave. He’ll lack motivation and underperform. Everything I’m reading points to only one solution: Woltemade will leave.”
Bang. Direct hit.
Forster’s message to Stuttgart is loud and clear: Let him go before you end up with a sulking striker and a wasted season.
But interestingly, even Forster admits the move may not be the best for the player himself.
“I would have liked to see him stay at VfB. He arrived on a free from Werder Bremen and blossomed under Sebastian Hoeneß. Another year at Stuttgart would be better for his development.”
So to summarize: Forster believes it’s bad for Stuttgart to keep him, but possibly bad for Woltemade to leave. Welcome to football logic.
What This Means for Everyone Involved
-
Stuttgart: Risk losing a focused player if they force him to stay.
-
Bayern Munich: Smell blood and are circling.
-
Nick Woltemade: Torn between dream move and steady growth.
-
Germany U-21 fans: Already missing those link-ups from the Euros.
One foot in Stuttgart, one in Munich. That’s not how footballers thrive, it’s how seasons get messy.
So what’s next? Either Stuttgart cash in and move on, or they dig their heels in and play chicken with motivation. One thing’s for sure: the Woltemade saga has all the spice of a proper summer transfer drama.
And remember, when a German legend drops transfer advice, it might be wise to listen, even if it stings a little.
