The team stumped up a reported 63 million Pounds ($84.74 million) for the German striker.<\/p>\n
Bayern had also been interested in signing the 23-year-old but dropped out of the running due to the fee quoted by their Bundesliga rivals.
\n“I can only congratulate those in Stuttgart that they and now I will use inverted commas \u201d found an idiot who will pay that much money,” Rummenigge told BR Broadcaster.<\/p>\n
“Because we would have certainly not done that in Munich.<\/p>\n
“We should not meet any demand to make someone happy, especially those financiers in Stuttgart.”<\/p>\n
Woltemade, capped four times by Germany, has scored two goals in five appearances since joining the Premier League side.<\/p>\n
In response to Rummenigge’s comments, VfB Stuttgart Chief Executive Officer, Alexander Wehrle told Bild newspaper on Monday: “We are always happy when we get congratulations from Munich.”
