  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Bayern are actively rebuilding under Kompany after the team intends to achieve both domestic and European dominance in the 2025-26 season. The addition of Woltemade would bring a promising young talent into the squad, especially with the club aiming to reinforce their attack around key figures like Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala.

  Stuttgart, however, are reluctant to sell one of their brightest prospects, who lifted the DFB-Pokal in his first year at the club. On the other hand, Bayern want to tie the striker to a five-year contract, but the deal depends on Stuttgart.
