Is The Nick Woltemade To Bayern Munich Transfer Truly Dead?
Will he stay or will he go? As things stand, Nick Woltemade is going to take the field when Bayern Munich face VfB Stuttgart in the Franz-Beckenbauer-Cup on Saturday. There is also a very good chance that it will be for his current club, Stuttgart. But will it be his last game for the Swabians? The latest reports suggest that the 24-year-old striker will remain in Stuttgart for the 2025/26 season. On Wednesday, Bayern Munich and Stuttgart reopened talks about a potential transfer. Bayern, according to various reports in Germany, offered a deal worth up to €60 million ($70 million). That deal was outright rejected by Stuttgart, prompting a strong response from Woltemade's agent, Danny Bachmann from Headtrick. 'In March 2024 and most recently in mid-June, VfB made a clear commitment to a solution-oriented approach as soon as the next career step is possible,' Bachmann said to DPA. 'For an ambitious German international, a move to the record German champions and regular Champions League participants is an enormous opportunity.' The agent then directly attacked VfB Stuttgart CEO Alexander Wehrle. 'The solution demanded by Mr. Wehrle this week within a questionable deadline was delivered today with the total package from the interested party and the player's side totaling more than €60 million plus a sell-on clause,' Bachmann said. 'The [VfB] Woltemade joined VfB Stuttgart from Werder Bremen on a free transfer last season. Capable of playing as a no.9, no.10, and on the wing, Woltemade has become a bit of a unicorn. Very tall (6'5), Woltemade has incredible one-on-one skills and the ability to find solutions in tight spaces. Indeed, his underlying stats put him in the same category as Hugo Ekitiké and Alexander Isak. Ekitiké just moved in a deal worth €95 million ($110 million) from Frankfurt to Liverpool. Isak is currently embroiled in his own transfer saga with Liverpool trying to sign the Swedish forward from Newcastle. Newcastle has already rejected £110 million ($150 million). With that in mind, what is a fair price for Woltemade? Stuttgart believes that a deal in the region of €75 million ($87.5 million) is a fair price. That's in the same category then what Bayern paid for Luis Díaz. The fee also compares to what Eintracht Frankfurt received for Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush from Manchester City last winter. Bachmann seems to disagree. 'That's not only completely unfounded – especially for a domestic transfer – but is in blatant contradiction to the aforementioned agreements,' Bachmann said in his statement to DPA. When it comes to current market prices, Stuttgart's demands regarding Woltemade seem to be in line with what is paid for strikers in European football. Does that mean the deal is now dead? Stuttgart will host Bayern Munich this weekend as part of the DFL SuperCup. That weekend is usually a get-together of the big Bundesliga bosses. In other words, there will be plenty of face-to-face meetings between the two clubs. Also, Bachmann's statement suggests that Woltemade, who has trained normally with the club, could be pushing for a transfer. Although reports on Thursday suggested a deal is now on the verge of collapse, that might be a bit premature. All will depend on this weekend as Bayern might test Stuttgart's resolve one more time.

Now Jimmy Fallon Is Using Taylor Swift To Suggest Trump Had Sinister Ties To Epstein
Jimmy Fallon is on a roll in taunting President Donald Trump with sexual jokes ― and some are making insinuations about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. (Watch the video below.) On Wednesday the 'Tonight Show' host was back at it again, using Taylor Swift songs to sum up the president's Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Fallon got a big response for noting that Americans are worried that Trump isn't ready for the talks to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine 'since his mind is basically a giant 'Blank Space.' ' Then the comedian waded into very sensitive territory. 'Also, he's distracted by the Epstein scandal. He'll tell Putin it's been a 'Cruel Summer' because everyone thinks 'I Did Something Bad' but I swear everyone on the island was '22.′' 'Oooooh,' the audience reacted in he-really-went-there fashion. Fast-forward to 1:50 for the Swift-Trump bit: To be clear, Trump reportedly has never been investigated over anything involving the late Epstein. The sex offender's hobnobbing with celebrities and politicians has generated high interest in what government files potentially contain about them. And while Trump was reportedly told by Attorney General Pam Bondi that he is mentioned in the files, the context is not publicly known. Trump brought some suspicion on himself by suddenly declaring the files to be a hoax. But some Republicans are backing a bipartisan House push for the release of all the files related to Epstein. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) appears to be hindering the process. Fallon has taunted Trump for a while on his about-face on the Epstein front. On Monday the host noted that the president had hoped for a 'trilateral meeting' of peace talks involving Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy. 'Last time Trump had a trilateral meeting was on Epstein Island,' Fallon cracked. On Tuesday, he again parlayed monologue chatter about the summit into another naughty dig at the commander in chief. 'Trump said that in his meeting with Putin, he will know probably in the first two minutes whether a deal is possible,' the host said. 'It's reassuring when a president talks about ending a war like a Tinder date.' 'Yep,' Fallon continued, 'Trump says that he'll know in two minutes, which makes sense because, according to Stormy Daniels, two minutes is plenty.' Related...
