UEFA U21 European Championship: As speculation swirls over his future, Germany's breakout football star Nick Woltemade has taken a step back - literally disappearing from the public eye while on vacation with his family.

The 23-year-old Stuttgart striker, whose rise from squad player to national team member has been one of the most remarkable stories in German football over the past year, is now at the center of a high-profile transfer battle between Stuttgart and Bayern Munich as reported by Xinhua.

While media reports continue to speculate on the transfer fee, Woltemade's departure from Stuttgart appears increasingly inevitable, despite his status as a fan favorite at the club.
