Stuttgart CEO Werhle says Woltemade will “play football for us next season”

VfB Stuttgart CEO Alexander Wehrle continues to hold firm regarding his Nick Woltemade stance.

Stuttgarter Nachrichten reports that Wehrle is keen to continue emphasising that Woltemade will continue wearing white and red next term, rather than the red and white of Bayern. 

“I’ve categorically rejected that so far,” said Wehrle when asked about the approaches of the record champions thus far. 

The CEO is certain that Woltemade will stay unless “they [Bayern] really do something extraordinary,” adding: “In that case, we’re all professional enough to talk about it. 

Woltemade netted 17 times in all competitions for Die Schwaben last term after arriving on a free transfer from Werder Bremen last summer. 

And with Stuttgart’s asking price seemingly stuck at €100 million, Woltemade could be set to continue wearing the VfB Brustring for at least another season, unless Bayern are to seriously ramp up their efforts to secure the 23-year-old.
