DSC Arminia Bielefeld v VfB Stuttgart - DFB Cup Final 2025 Photo by Marvin Ibo Guengoer - GES Sportfoto/Getty Images Angelo Stiller could be making a big transfer! Fresh off of his DFB-Pokal victory with VfB Stuttgart, former Bayern Munich academy star Angelo Stiller could be set for a massive move to Real Madrid per transfer expert Nicolò Schira: Excl. - Agreement in principle between #RealMadrid and Angelo #Stiller for a contract until 2030. Real Madrid are now working to reach a deal with #Stuttgart. Talks in progress. #transfersStill just 24-years-old, Stiller has made quite the career for himself with Hoffenheim and VfB Stuttgart since leaving Bayern Munich. Stiller has worked himself into a player consistently in the mix for the German national team and also a player who has become one of the underrated gems in Europe. Earlier this spring, Stiller was very loosely linked to FC Barcelona. Would a move to Real Madrid be too much, too soon for Stiller? If this report is true and things go through, we will soon find out. Looking for some final thoughts on the Florian Wirtz saga? What about a conversation with one of our BPW staffers who actually spoke to Wirtz? We have all of that, plus some thoughts on if — or maybe when — Bayern Munich should make a move for VfB Stuttgart attacker Nick Woltemade on the Bavarian Podcast Works Show on Patreon, Spotify, or below: Also, be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

VfB Stuttgart v FC Bayern München - Bundesliga Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images The move is up in the air...for now. According to a report from Bild journalist Felix Arnold, VfB Stuttgart attacker Nick Woltemade is hoping that his club will work out a deal with Bayern Munich:At 9.50 a.m. @BILD — Striker Nick #Woltemade at #VfB! In proper style in flip-flops, because today is the medical check in #Stuttgart. Monday off to the training camp at Tegernsee. But: The #DFB star still only wants to join #FCB and is hoping for an agreement between the clubs.A move is not out of the question, but the relationship between the clubs has been at least temporarily strained. Woltemade is just the rope in the middle of this tug o’war and cannot do anything except show up and work hard every day until a final decision is made. Looking for the latest Bayern Munich discussion, then check out Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show. This is what we have on tap:€75 million might be Bayern’s magic number for Liverpool’s Luis Diaz — and we think we finally know why we have been feeling so iffy about the situation.Bayern made its last bid on Nick Woltemade, which could still fall short of the mark.

Germany v France - UEFA European Under-21 Championship 2025 Semi-Final Photo by Boris Streubel - UEFA/UEFA via Getty Images Luis Diaz could sign any moment now... Bayern, Woltemade getting closer? (Nicolò Schira)Transfer journalist Nicolò Schira is reporting that Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart could be getting close to a deal worth €50 million: Nick #Woltemade is getting closer to #BayernMunich from #Stuttgart for €50M. Agreed personal terms for a contract until 2030. #transfersSchira is not as tied into the Woltemade saga as some other journalists, so the proverbial grain of salt is needed with this one. However, there does seem to be at least some thought that VfB Stuttgart could be ready to waver on its hardline stance regarding Woltemade. With the deal for Luis Diaz expected to close within hours, Bayern Munich should be able to approach the Woltemade pursuit with more urgency. All that remains to be seen is if VfB Stuttgart is willing to part ways with a player it clearly values. LFC “prioritizing” move for Real’s Rodrygo (ESPN)With rumors swirling that Liverpool FC could make a move for Newcastle United star and former Borussia Dortmund striker Alexander Isak, there are other stories out there that say Liverpool could spring for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo: Liverpool are prioritizing a move for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, according to TEAMtalk. The Reds reportedly see the 24-year-old as their No. 1 option to replace Luis Díaz as the Colombia international nears a €75 million move to Bayern Munich. But with belief that Los Blancos could demand a significant transfer fee worth close to €90m, the Anfield hierarchy are also lining up some alternatives. One of those is 20-year-old RB Leipzig and Norway international Antonio Nusa, while Lyon’s Malick Fofana, also 20, is another player on their radar.Bavarian Podcast Works — Flagship Show: Season 8, Episode 1 (Bavarian Football Works)Bayern Munich will have Luis Diaz in tow for this season, but that move is not the only one in motion. After allegedly getting that deal done, Bayern Munich can now expedite its plans for the rest of the transfer window, so let’s talk about it.

Jamal Musiala is embracing the grind of his comeback, but it is too much, too soon?Müller could cost Vancouver $400K (Sport Bild’s Christian Falk)If Bayern Munich legend Thomas Müller does choose to join the Vancouver Whitecaps, it will likely cost the Canadian club $400,000 to snatch Müller’s discovery rights away from FC Cincinnati:There have been talks that Muller will join Bayern’s partner club, Los Angeles FC, but he has rejected the move. Christian Falk informed CFBayern that Muller wants to go to Canada to join MLS outfit Vancouver Whitecaps.The Whitecaps are currently in talks with FC Cincinnati over the Discovery Rights of Muller. Cincinnati are likely to demand much more than $400,000 (around €340,000) from them.In the MLS, sorting out the discovery rights is not a big issue. If Muller wants to join the Whitecaps, the MLS will try to make it work. That is what happened here. Falk says that the MLS has intervened as a mediator to ensure that Muller’s transfer does not fail due to transfer demands from a club in its own league association. The MLS are negotiating at the moment with Cincinnati, while Vancouver are waiting for a Green light, so that Muller can sign a new contract with them until 2026.Juve prepping bigger offer for Kolo Muani (ESPN)Juventus…
