VfB Stuttgart loses to Bayern in the Supercup – Woltemade stays!

FC Bayern Munich won the Supercup yesterday, an event that leaves mixed feelings, especially for VfB Stuttgart. In an exciting game, Stuttgart had to acknowledge Munich's superiority despite Jamie Leweling's late goal in stoppage time. Bayern ultimately prevailed and celebrated the trophy, while Stuttgart's Nick Woltemade was able to follow the injuries in the game more closely, but was himself disappointed at the opponents' celebrations.

The events on the pitch were not easy for Woltemade. Although the young player appeared committed and created two good chances to score, he was unable to take advantage of them. The reaction from the crowd was mixed, but Bayern captain Manuel Neuer recognized his talent and affectionately nicknamed him “Woltemessi”, in reference to his impressive ball handling. However, after the game, VfB club boss Alexander Wehrle stated that Woltemade would continue to play for VfB Stuttgart next season. Transfer negotiations with Bayern have already been completed, meaning the Munich club had made several offers for the player, all of which were rejected.

An uncertain fate

The situation around Woltemade remains exciting. Sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth confirmed that the transfer issue is now a closed chapter for VfB Stuttgart. Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund also made it clear: “There was no agreement for a transfer.” This clear announcement suggests that the talent's commitment to Munich is off the table for the time being. However, a possible move could resurface in 2026, depending on the situation surrounding Harry Kane.

Despite the current situation, Woltemade can look forward to an exciting future. He will play in the Europa League with VfB Stuttgart next season. This perspective could provide him with additional motivation to further improve his performance and develop into an important player for the club. His efforts and performances could make the difference, especially in European competitions.

VfB Stuttgart: A long history

The history of VfB Stuttgart is rich and characterized by ups and downs. The club was founded in 1912 and goes back to a merger of Stuttgarter FV and FC Krone Cannstatt. In the past decades, VfB has won several championships and cups and made a name for itself in the Bundesliga. The club has been through a number of crises, including relegation in the 1970s, but has always fought back. The last few years have shown that Stuttgart is once again in a first-class position; Last season the club finished second in the Bundesliga and won the DFB Cup, waiting 18 years for a title. This creates the perfect framework for the coming challenges in which young stars like Woltemade can shine.

It remains to be seen how the coming weeks will develop for Woltemade. But no matter where his journey takes him, the game against FC Bayern will be remembered as an unforgettable experience.
