Bayern Munich center-back Maxime Awoudja has signed with VfB Stuttgart
MediaThe Bayern II defender will make a move to Stuttgart in hopes of securing a first-team position.Per a release from Bayern Munich, center-back Maxime Awoudja will make the move to VfB Stuttgart. The 21-year-old center-back has signed a long-term deal with the Swabians, who have a gaping hole in their central defense after the departures of Benjamin Pavard to Bayern Munich and Ozan Kabak to Schalke 04.The two clubs will not release any further details of the transfer at this time, but Transfermarkt has the transfer fee at €1.5 million for the former Bayern II defender. Bayern campus director Hermann Gerland had this to say about Awoudja:After two seasons in the regional league, Maxime wanted to take the next step into professional football, but we didn’t want to spoil this opportunity for him as a long-standing player. We wish him all the best for the VfB and will follow his further development very closely.Even with the departure of Mats Hummels to Borussia Dortmund, Awoudja had to look at Bayern Munich’s depth chart and assess that his best opportunity for first-team football would be elsewhere. Currently, Niklas Sule, Lucas Hernandez, Jerome Boateng, Pavard, Lars Lukas Mai, and Chris Richards are likely all held in higher regard than Awoudja, who should benefit from the move.For his part Awoudja was appreciative of the experience he received at Bayern:I spent my entire career at FC Bayern Munich and had an incredibly beautiful and successful time here. I would like to thank everyone for that. For me it is time to take the next step. I wish my fellow players and the entire team every success for the coming third league season.We're delighted to announce the signing of centre-back Maxime Awoudja from @FCBayernEN.

FC Bayern München Team Presentation Photo by Harry Langer/DeFodi Images via Getty Images The long anticipated move has come to fruition. After weeks of speculation, one-time (and also maybe soon-to-be...process that) Bayern Munich “goalkeeper of the future” Alexander Nübel is headed to VfB Stuttgart on a loan assignment for the 2023/24 season. Bayern Munich announced the move via its club website: FC Bayern has loaned Alexander Nübel to VfB Stuttgart for one season. The 26-year-old goalkeeper switched from FC Schalke 04 to the German record champions on a free transfer in 2020 and has been loaned to AS Monaco for the past two seasons. The former U21 national keeper made a total of 97 competitive appearances for the French in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen is looking forward to Nübel’s continued development. “Alexander Nübel has gained valuable match practice in the two seasons at AS Monaco. Because of this good experience, we have decided to go on loan for another year. VfB Stuttgart offers Alex the opportunity to develop himself through regular assignments,” Dreesen said. A first #VfB training session for Alexander Nübel! ⚪️ #VfB pic.twitter.com/GID834sztR— VfB Stuttgart_int (@VfB_int) July 25, 2023Bild journalist Felix Arnold is reporting that Bayern Munich will receive €800,000 as a fee for the loan assignment. Interestingly, this does position Nübel to once again — cross his fingers and hope that Manuel Neuer is ready to call it a career. Essentially, Bayern Munich bought itself another year to figure out what Neuer is going to do and if the veteran goalkeeper will be able to return to full capacity after breaking his leg skiing last season.

It’s not over...Tah still on Bayern’s radar despite reports (@Plettigoal)Rumors swirled that Bayern Munich was going to walk away from a pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen center-back and Germany international Jonathan Tah, but Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg posted that the Bavarians could still be in the mix for the 28-year-old: No surprise and as expected: FC Bayern let the deadline (yesterday at 11:59 PM) and set by Leverkusen pass without making an €30m offer for Jonathan #Tah ✔️▫️There is still no approval for a new offer from Bayern‘s supervisory board since De Ligt and Mazraoui have not been sold yet.

Stiller’s name emerged as potential replacement for Kimmich (@altobelli13 via @iMiaSanMia)It looks like Bayern Munich and Joshua Kimmich will come to an agreement shortly, but in that awkward period when things were iffy, the Bavarians might have been kicking the tires on an old friend — VfB Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller: During the discussions over Joshua Kimmich’s future. Angelo Stiller’s name was mentioned as a potential replacement. The midfielder has a €36.5m release clause, but only valid in summer 2026. For summer 2025, a move is currently not planned, unless a club comes in with a big offer that the player and VfB have to consider.Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg also chimed in with information about a potential release clause in Stiller’s contract with VfB Stuttgart that could have conceivably made it a doable deal for Bayern Munich. However, VfB Stuttgart could have made things difficult with a buyout option within the release clause: VfB Stuttgart can buy out Angelo #Stiller’s release clause, valid from summer 2026, at any time for around €2m!When finalizing the release clause (up to €40m, depending on the buying club) #VfB contractually secured the right to buy it out at any time.Stiller would not be able to reject this VfB sum. In this case, he would receive the amount immediately, and his contract would not be extended. Only the release clause would become void as soon as the €2m is transferred.Because of this option, Stuttgart remain relaxed. Contract until 2028.Of course, this is all likely moot given how close Kimmich is rumored to be in completing a new deal with Bayern Munich: Joshua Kimmich is on the verge of extending his contract at FC Bayern. The talks today were very positive.

We’ll explain why!Bayern Munich’s effort against Bayer Leverkusen was exactly what we have all been waiting — and wanting — to see. Now...the Bavarians must avoid a letdown. Manuel Neuer getting hurt while celebrating is something all of us old heads can relate to. Joshua Kimmich’s situation is nearing its end.

Manchester City FC v Aston Villa FC - Premier League Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images Any interest in Marcus Rashford, Bayern Munich fans? Rashford back on Bayern’s radar (Sport Bild’s Christian Falk)In recent months, there have been rumors detailing intermittent interest from Bayern Munich in Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford.Now, as Bayern Munich is seeking a winger, Rashford could once again be on the radar of the Bavarians:Bayern Munich are genuinely interested in Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. The England international has been returned to Old Trafford following his loan spell with Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.The reigning Bundesliga champions are keen on adding a left-sided winger to their ranks following Leroy Sané’s free transfer exit to Galatasaray. Rashford would represent an intriguing option, having already played 230 games on the left flank in his career.It is our understanding here at CF Bayern Insider that Rashford’s name has appeared on Bayern scouts’ so-called “longlist”. However, it should be clear that the 27-year-old is not the top option on the list. The United man currently finds himself behind top candidates like Bradley Barcola (22), Nico Williams (22), Rafael Leão (26), and Luis Diaz (28).The Red Devils are open to parting ways with the footballer and said to be demanding around €45m [£38.6m] for his services. We have heard that Bayern have yet to open talks with Marcus Rashford or the Premier League club over a potential transfer.A somewhat underwhelming loan spell with Aston Villa – where Rashford registered five Premier League goal contributions in 10 games – is unlikely to change any minds at Carrington. Indeed, as David Ornstein has confirmed for The Athletic, the United man is now open to an opportunity abroad.Barcelona has been speculated about as a potential destination, but the Blaugrana are going full steam ahead for Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams. As such, a move to another foreign suitor, like Bayern Munich, looks a comparatively more likely scenario.Eintracht on verge of inking Burkardt (Sky Germany’s Florian Plettigoal)One of the more anticipated moves going down in the Bundesliga this summer is Eintracht Frankfurt’s acquisition of Mainz 05 striker Jonathan Burkardt.Now, that move appears to be very close to happening:⤵️⏳ Eintracht Frankfurt and Mainz 05 are in final negotiations. There is not yet a full agreement between the clubs, but it is expected very soon. Jonathan Burkardt is ready for the medical.

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim v VfB Stuttgart - Bundesliga Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images Probably not good news... According to a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, VfB Stuttgart might really be willing to continue to reject Bayern Munich’s advances for star attacker Nick Woltemade: VfB Stuttgart have already made an internal decision: should FC Bayern increase their offer for Nick #Woltemade to around €60 million, they intend to reject this offer as well.The claim that they would be open to talks from €65 million onwards is not confirmed by anyone at #VfB. It also remains unclear where Bayern’s limit will be. There is still no meeting between the executives of the two clubs. The positions remain hardened.This really might morph into the Bundesliga version of “The Chocolate War” with VfB Stuttgart just taking a stance at a time, where it might be easier (or beneficial) to at least listen to what Bayern Munich has to say on a player who — allegedly — already wants to leave. At this point, this really might drag on all summer. The careers of Liverpool FC’s Luis Diaz and Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl could end up intertwined if the transfer move goes through. Meanwhile, is the rest of the Bundesliga sick of being bullied by Bayern Munich and is the league bleeding too much talent? Also, Paul Wanner and Lennart Karl could be in line for opportunities during the preseason...can the youngster take advantage of those chances? Finally, the father of Florian Wirtz talks through how the decision to join Liverpool played out and you can hear how HBO screwed BPW this week.

VfB Stuttgart v Borussia Mönchengladbach - Bundesliga Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images This has been fun, eh? According to a report from Bild journalist Julian Agardi, Bayern Munich does not want to submit a third offer to VfB Stuttgart for Nick Woltemade. Instead, the Bavarians wants to hold a face-to-face meeting with representatives from Die Schwaben, but the VfB Stuttgart’s team of executives does not seem interested in such a summit: News Nick #Woltemade: FC #Bayern will not submit a 3rd offer to #VfB in the coming days. The Munich team wants to meet personally with the Stuttgart team before sending the next offer. The catch: VfB continues to reject such a meeting. Per Agardi and his Bild colleague Tobi Altschäffl (via @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich is flummoxed by the situation: Stuttgart’s tough stance is met with incomprehension both by FC Bayern and also by Woltemade’s camp.VfB Stuttgart’s hardline stance with Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen’s bitterness toward the Bavarians have left things feeling a bit....frosty for the German Rekordmeister and the rest of the league. The real loser in this deal is Woltemade, who has a much more lucrative contract waiting for him in Bavaria and a much better situation from a sporting perspective. The careers of Liverpool FC’s Luis Diaz and Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl could end up intertwined if the transfer move goes through. Meanwhile, is the rest of the Bundesliga sick of being bullied by Bayern Munich and is the league bleeding too much talent? Also, Paul Wanner and Lennart Karl could be in line for opportunities during the preseason...can the youngster take advantage of those chances?

Germany v France - UEFA Nations League 2025 Third Place Match Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images What do you think? It just might be do or die time for VfB Stuttgart as it pertains to a sale of Nick Woltemade to Bayern Munich. While the Bavarians want Woltemade badly, they are unwilling to get the transfer fee to a level that Stuttgart is comfortable with just yet. As it stands, Woltemade is off to camp with VfB Stuttgart (per Sport Bild’s Julian Agardi via @iMiaSanMia) Nick #Woltemade is not returning to Tegernsee on Monday, but already today to #VfB. In the morning, the striker will undergo his performance diagnostics and fitness tests in Bad Cannstatt. The day after tomorrow, he will head to Rottach-Egern. Woltemade still aims to join FC #Bayern. Will Bayern Munich buck the trend and get its man or will the Bavarians be out of luck?Tell us what you think in the comments below...With a move for Hugo Ekitiké getting close, the reality is that Bayern Munich is likely going to get Luis Diaz…whether fans like it or not. Bayern Munich has reportedly also exited talks with VfB Stuttgart to focus on a deal for Diaz. It might also just be time for Bayern Munich to rip off the band-aid and sell Kim Min-jae, João Palhinha, and Sacha Boey. Finally, we have a note Bayer Leverkusen’s CEO and his recent slam on Bayern.

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. If that fails...who’s next? Maybe of three Red Bull-related players.Are we headed into an era of stability at Bayern Munich?
