VfB Stuttgart hope they will be able to secure Nick Woltemade to a new deal despite interest from the likes of Everton.
The Germany international, whose goals have helped to fire his country through the group stages of the ongoing Under-21s Euros, has become the subject of heavy speculation after an impressive season in the Bundesliga.

The Blues are one of a cluster of clubs across Europe said to have taken a look at the forward ahead of a possible move this summer. Stuttgart do hold the cards, however, given the 23-year-old is already under contract for the foreseeable future.

Despite that, and the potential for suitors to step up their interest, key figures at his current club are hopeful he will sign fresh terms that reflect his impact in south west Germany.
Sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth told German publication Bild : 'Of course, we're also following the reports. But at this point, everyone can rest assured Nick's immediate future is secured by a three-year contract with VfB Stuttgart.

'Any discussions with Nick's management are not about clarifying his sporting future, but rather about us wanting to contractually express our appreciation for his outstanding sporting development. I am very confident that we will bring the discussions to a successful conclusion.'

Liverpool line up £70m COLOSSUS to replace Ibrahima Konate
Liverpool looking at Guehi and Branthwaite The imminent loss of Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen in a £30m deal already leaves the club light on numbers - necessitating a new signing sooner rather than later. Advertisement While Marc Guehi has been the player most strongly linked, there is another defender closer to home who fits the bill. The Reds reportedly have their eye on centre-backs aged 24 or under - and given they are losing Quansah - one with homegrown status would help. That's why Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite is so intriguing. Moving from the Bramley Moore Dock Stadium to Anfield wouldn't be without its controversy - but surely a sizeable bid from the Reds would tempt their city neighbours into selling. Everton plot Branthwaite talks A new report in Caught Offside now claims that Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham AND Liverpool have all got their eye on Branthwaite - who is valued at around the £70m mark. Advertisement As such, the Toffees are planning contract talks with their star defender - who is currently tied to the club until 2027. But should no new deal be agreed for the 23-year-old, then Liverpool would be in a good position to pounce. 'No concrete talks have taken place,' the report continues. 'But the admiration for Branthwaite is there, so it could be one to watch.' © IMAGO Could Liverpool use Doak to sign Branthwaite? David Moyes' side are reported to admire Ben Doak and by adding the Scotland winger to any potential deal, Liverpool could significantly reduce the upfront costs. With Quansah being sold, Konate seemingly heading out the door and Van Dijk contracted until 2027 - Liverpool will soon need to conduct a serious transfer overhaul at centre-back. Maybe Guehi and fellow England international Branthwaite will be the ones leading the club into the new era.

Liverpool plan to steal COMPLETE €25m midfielder from Everton
Liverpool admire Merlin Rohl And one name now on the list who could play in various midfield roles and provide extra cover is Merlin Rohl. The Germany under-21 international is currently starring at the UEFA Euro Under-21 Championships - where he will come up against three Liverpool players in this weekend's final. Advertisement The 22-year-old plays his club football for Freiburg in the Bundesliga - although he struggled with a couple of injuries last season. Despite those setbacks, Rohl is seen as a future star - capable of playing in the offensive midfield positions as well as doing the dirty work in the middle. Rohl deal will break €25m record Described by former Ingolstadt coach Thomas Oral as a 'complete' midfielder, Rohl has been compared to Bayern Munich's Leon Goretzka and has been attracting plenty of attention from the Premier League. In a recent report in Sport Bild, Everton were named as suitors, and the paper has also detailed Liverpool's interest. Advertisement Crystal Palace and Newcastle have all got Rohl on the radar but he would surely be most intrigued by a move to the Premier League champions if the opportunity arose. He extended his contract back in September 2024 - meaning his club side are reasonably well protected from a transfer fee perspective. Kevin Schade represents the Bundesliga club's biggest-ever sale - with Brentford paying around €25m for the German international - and Bild suggests it would take a similar bid to move Rohl. Everton are reported to have made two bids already with an intention to return to the table this summer. If Liverpool are going to get involved in the bidding, they will have to strike soon.
