VfB Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade is to rejoin the team on July 28 ahead of the new season despite rumours of a potential transfer to German champions Bayern Munich.
Due to his participation in the Nations League Final Four and in the under-21 Euros this summer, he will receive a few extra vacation days.

But a club spokesperson confirmed on Monday that he will join his team-mates for their pre-season training camp as planned.
Over the weekend, there were speculations whether Bayern could rush to sign Woltemade aftertheir midfielder Jamal Musiala fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle in the Club World Cup quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday.
Musiala will undergo surgery and sidelined for several months.
However, according to media reports, Bayern and Suttgart are very far from an agreement over the transfer fee.
The German Cup champions allegedly want a huge fee, with some reports speaking of close to €100 million ($117.33 million), to get him out of his contract until 2028.

Stuttgart kicked off their pre-season preparations with performance tests on Monday.
In addition to Woltemade, his national team colleagues Deniz Undav, Maximilian Mittelstädt and Alexander Nübel as well as Bosnian international Ermedin Demirovic were also absent.
Unlike Woltemade, the quartet will rejoin the team for a friendly match against SV Fellbach on Saturday.

€80m-rated Liverpool forward in talks with Bayern Munich
There is one Liverpool player in particular who is returning to pre-season training with his future very much up in the air. Luis Diaz, 28, has been the subject of plenty of transfer stories over the last few weeks. Advertisement We've seen interest in the Colombian materialise from Saudi Arabia - as well as Barcelona - but for now the winger remains a Liverpool player. It's no secret that Diaz's contract is an issue for Liverpool to solve. Signed for £37.5m from Porto back in 2022, Diaz remains on the same terms he signed back then. It's been reported widely that Diaz makes 'only' £55k per week in comparison to around £120k to £140k for the likes of Federico Chiesa, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo. Diaz at contract impasse with Liverpool As such, if Liverpool have got any hopes of securing Diaz past 2027 then a pay rise will be necessary. Advertisement There are no indications that the club are willing to meet those demands - so either Diaz departs when his contract expires or sporting director Richard Hughes accepts a suitable bid this summer or next. Diaz gives blessing for Bayern move Now comes a story from BILD in Germany which claims Diaz is wanted by Bayern Munich. Not only that but apparently the 13-goal forward has given his blessing to the move AND Liverpool are willing to do a deal. Barcelona were believed to be Diaz's first choice destination but it doesn't look like the Catalans will get a deal done. Liverpool are reported to be willing to accept around €80m for Diaz and will no doubt be hoping Bayern's need for a forward option will push them into a deal.
