When reading the controversial comments from Bayern Munich legend and supervisory Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, VfB Stuttgart CEO Alexander Wehrle must have gotten a good chuckle, because he offered this reply
to Bild when asked about them.
Rummenigge criticized VfB Stuttgart’s asking price for Nick Woltemade, it’s negotiating tactics with Bayern Munich, and ultimately selling Woltemade for a jacked up fee to Nick Woltemade.
“We’re always happy to receive congratulations from Munich,” Wehrle said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Man…the strays that Newcastle United is catching on this.
For as much as the relationship is strained, there is some carryover business. Bayern Munich goalkeeper Alexander Nübel is still on loan with Die Schwaben and if Vincent Kompany decides to make the move to England in 2026 or after his contract expires in 2027, it can be assumed that Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß could be high on Bayern Munich’s list of potential replacements.
Anyway, this feels like this might simmer a while longer…
