Alexander Wehrle critiques Bayern Munich over Nick Woltemade transfer bid

VfB Stuttgart chairman Alexander Wehrle addressed members at the club's annual general meeting, criticizing Bayern Munich's failed attempt to sign Nick Woltemade. Stuttgart held firm on a €75 million asking price, while Bayern's offer reached only €60 million. Wehrle described Bayern's bid as 'a butter pretzel' and used the opportunity to highlight the overwhelming support from Stuttgart fans at their recent DFB-Pokal final against Bayern. Ultimately, Stuttgart secured a record fee from Newcastle United, who exceeded their asking price. Wehrle's remarks were well received by the audience.
