The German newspaper "Bild" reported that Stuttgart rejected the first offer made by Bayern Munich for striker Nik Vultmeier, which amounted to 40 million euros as a base transfer fee plus 5 million euros in bonuses.

Stuttgart's sporting director, Fabian Wohlgemuth, confirmed that Vultmeier is expected to remain with the team for the 2025/2026 season, despite ongoing negotiations between the two clubs, noting that it is impossible to predict the player's future definitively.

The newspaper revealed that Stuttgart's management might change its stance if the club receives an offer exceeding 65 million euros, at which point the board will discuss the possibility of entering into direct negotiations with Bayern Munich.

This comes after Vultmeier informed coach Sebastian Hoeneß of his desire to move to Bayern Munich during the summer, prompting the involved parties to conduct several communications and meetings, the latest of which was a video call involving the club presidents and sporting directors.

Wohlgemuth concluded his remarks by confirming that Bayern Munich has officially expressed interest in acquiring the player, and that the details of the negotiations between the two parties will remain confidential and will not be commented on publicly.
