Nick Woltemade, 22, has signed with VfB Stuttgart on a free transfer from Werder Bremen. The news was confirmed by the vice champions on Monday. Woltemade expressed his excitement about joining the team where he used to watch training sessions as a child during holidays in Stuttgart. His passion for Stuttgart stems from his family’s strong ties to the club.
Woltemade’s grandfather and father are avid VfB fans, and with relatives in Stuttgart, he spent many school breaks in the area, creating a special bond with the city and the club. As a young boy, he admired players like Mario Gomez and Christian Gentner, both of whom have connections to VfB in different capacities. It’s a full-circle moment for Woltemade as he now gets to train and play for the team he once watched with admiration.
With Gentner potentially transitioning to a new role as Sports Director at VfB, Woltemade will have the opportunity to work closely with one of his childhood football idols. The young talent’s move to Stuttgart represents not just a professional transfer but a personal connection to the club that has been a significant part of his family’s history and his own football journey.
