Uli Hoeneß, Lothar Matthäus, Nick Woltemade, Bayern Munich
26 May 2026
Uli Hoeneß accused Lothar Matthäus of helping derail Bayern Munich’s move for Nick Woltemade by publicly raising the forward’s valuation. Hoeneß claimed Bayern were close to signing him before Stuttgart’s price expectations changed.
Woltemade eventually joined Newcastle United for €75 million, but his uneven season has already sparked exit talk. Bayern still want a versatile forward to support Harry Kane, meaning the collapsed deal could return to the agenda.
