Stuttgart chief admits Woltemade has his price as Chelsea, Atletico circle

However, VfB won't be inviting offers for the young centre-forward as Chelsea, Atlético Madrid, Liverpool, and AS Roma all express their interest.

Wehrle told the Stuttgarter Zeitung: "We're going into next season with Nick. Period.

"There's no reason to act immediately. Furthermore, we are in constant dialogue with our players and their agents."

Woltemade has a deal with Stuttgart to 2028 and while defiant, Wehrle concedes the youngster does have his price.

He added, "Basically, in the Bundesliga , with the exception of FC Bayern Munich, every club above a certain amount has to be willing to talk about the transfer of a key player for financial reasons. This naturally applies to us too."
