In an interview, Stuttgart CEO Wealler was asked about the team's forward Walter Mad. He said the team will not let the player go.

Weller said: "We will not let him go, and he will play with us next season. Unless Bayern makes a truly extraordinary move, we will discuss this with a professional attitude."

According to Florian Plettenberg, the executives of the two clubs have only communicated via phone and video so far. At this stage, Stuttgart refuses to meet Bayern.
