Bayern Munich have made initial contact over a move for Nick Woltemade. The German champions have spoken with the representatives of the Werder Bremen talent to explore the conditions for a potential transfer next summer. Discussions are described as being at a very preliminary stage, with no decision yet made on whether to enter formal negotiations.

The 24-year-old forward, who can also operate in midfield, is under contract with Werder until 2027. Woltemade has established himself as a key player for the northern German side this season. His versatility and physical profile have attracted the attention of Bayern's recruitment team, who have been monitoring his progress for some time.

Squad planning underway

Sporting director Christoph Freund and his team are assessing various options for the coming campaign. The enquiry regarding Woltemade forms part of these strategic preparations. A move in the summer of 2027 remains a possibility should the player not extend his current deal. Werder Bremen, for their part, are naturally keen to retain one of their most important assets.

For now, Bayern's focus remains firmly on the current season. The team is preparing for its next Bundesliga fixture away to FC Augsburg on October 10th, following a commanding 7-0 victory over Union Berlin last time out.

Michael Olise led the scoring in that match with a hat-trick and is the club's top scorer this season with four goals. The attack featuring Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala is in excellent form, with Konrad Laimer the only current absentee. Vincent Kompany's side will look to carry the momentum from their last result into the next match after the international break.
