Everton are looking to beat rivals Liverpool to sign the 23-year-old this summer, and initial talks over his availability have been held already. The forward is under contract in the Bundesliga until 2028, though, and Stuttgart are keen on extending his stay for the time being. So far, negotiations over extending his deal where he is haven’t gone the way that Stuttgart would have hoped.However, this has not dampened their hope of striking a deal. Sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth told German outlet Bild (20 June): “It’s a slow season again. We’re following the news, of course. But at this point, everyone can rest assured. Nick’s immediate future is regulated 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’m very confident that we will bring the discussions to a successful conclusion.”Everton are moving to Bramley-Moore Dock this summer.

However, at this stage in the window, it is certainly in their interests to be positive in the hope of dampening the optimism of those who are interested. Until a deal has been agreed, though, Everton must treat Woltemade as someone who could be keen on a move and do all they can to convince him to the Premier League this summer.
