Rummenigge stated that when Stuttgart's demands for Woltemade were presented, he expressed his concerns to other club officials, saying that the amount was no longer acceptable.

He then made a joking comment that Stuttgart should be congratulated for finding a buyer willing to pay such a high price for the player.

Rummenigge also suggested that Bayern Munich would not have made the same transfer, implying that it was a questionable decision by Newcastle.

Wehrle responded to Rummenigge's comments with sarcasm, saying that the club is always happy to receive congratulations from Munich.
