Bayern‘s Hoeneß Reaches Out too Rising Star Woltemade After Impressive Performance
Hamburg – Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeneß personally congratulated young forward Nick woltemade via WhatsApp following Werder Bremen‘s 5-1 victory over Darmstadt 98 on December 4, 2025. The message came after Woltemade scored twice in the match, showcasing a performance that has rapidly elevated his profile in German football.
The gesture from Hoeneß underscores the growing interest in the 23-year-old striker, who has become a key figure for Werder Bremen this season. Woltemade’s recent form, including his clinical finishing and overall impact on the game, has drawn attention from several top Bundesliga clubs, with Bayern now publicly acknowledging his potential. This outreach signals a potential future transfer pursuit, adding another layer of intrigue to the upcoming January transfer window and beyond.
During a post-match interview, Woltemade revealed a personal touch he carries onto the pitch: custom shin guards featuring images of his family, including his grandparents, and a portrait of himself. “My parents aren’t so happy with the photo,” he joked, “They think they aren’t notably well captured.”
However, he emphasized the emotional significance of the shin guards, stating, “When I put them on, it gives me a warm feeling. I know then that everyone is behind me and that I owe these people a wonderful childhood. A lucky charm that only I see.”
