A move to FC Bayern did not come about. But now Nick Woltemade is probably moving to England.
DFB striker Nick Woltemade is about to switch to the Premier League to Newcastle United. Several media report this. According to a report by the “Bild” newspaper, the clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of 85 million euros plus a possible 5 million euros in bonus payments. According to the transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, 80 million euros will flow away plus bonus payments. According to the “Bild” newspaper and the TV station Sky, Woltemade is already on the way to England and has said goodbye to his teammates in Stuttgart.
On Tuesday, Woltemade was still on the pitch in the DFB Cup for the Swabians against Eintracht Braunschweig and saved the club with his goal to 3: 3 in the 89th minute of play. In the end, Stuttgart prevailed in the penalty shootout and moved into the second round.
Woltemade was also courted by FC Bayern, but Stuttgart and the German record champions could not agree on the transfer fee. As part of the Supercup, the Stuttgart club bosses around sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth and the CEO Alexander Wehrle declared the poker.
As a result, a change of the striker was no longer expected, but now Newcastle was surprisingly came into the picture and apparently made an offer that met the ideas of the Swabians.
Newcastle has been in a dispute with her striker Alexander Isak for weeks, who in turn wants to switch to Liverpool. However, the club refused to release him. It is open whether that would change after a commitment of Woltemade. Most recently, the club and players had publicly reproach themselves in the respective statements.
