It feels like Bayern Munich finally have something to show for in the current summer transfer window as they desperately need attacking reinforcements.
The Bavarians have already confirmed the departure of Thomas Muller and Leroy Sane following the FIFA Club World Cup. So they need players who can take up the workload in attack.
After facing several rejections, it looks like Bayern Munich have eventually struck a deal as reports suggested that they have reached an agreement with VfB Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade.
The 23-year-old has reportedly agreed to a five-year deal with the German champions, and now the move depends on them agreeing to a transfer fee with Stuttgart.
But Stuttgart sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth has made his stance clear, highlighting that Woltemade is not for sale.
"The fact that this development hasn't gone unnoticed and that we now read about interest from other clubs almost every day doesn't change the fact that Nick's journey with us is far from over," Wohlgemuth told BILD.

"We are firmly planning with Nick and we want to benefit from his sporting qualities in the coming year as well. There's no alternative scenario for this."

The towering forward, who is known for his exceptional close control, movement and goalscoring prowess, is reportedly seen as Muller's replacement in Bavaria.
Woltemade is predominantly a second striker, but his physical stature and goalscoring ability allow him to feature in multiple positions.
As per the reports, Stuttgart have set €60m ($69.7m) as a minimum price tag for the 23-year-old. But internally, some members feel that they should demand €80m ($93.5m).
Apart from Bayern, Chelsea and Real Madrid have also shown interest in the German sensation.
