Shock for Bayern: Woltemade joins Newcastle United | OneFootball

For months, FC Bayern made futile efforts to acquire Nick Woltemade. In Munich, they had hoped for a happy ending until the end. This will definitely not happen now. Reason: According to consistent media reports, the Stuttgart striker is moving to the English Premier League.

The poker game for Nick Woltemade has taken a surprising turn. For weeks, the national player was seen as the absolute desired solution for FC Bayern's attack. The record champion offered more than 60 million euros plus bonuses and a share in the resale - in vain. Stuttgart rejected all offers and insisted on keeping their top striker.

Rumors of a demand of up to 75 million euros were recently making the rounds. This was too high for the Munich team, but apparently not for Newcastle United.

Done Deal: Newcastle snaps up Woltemade

As the Daily Mail reports, the Magpies are on the verge of signing Woltemade. The 23-year-old is set to replace Alexander Isak at the English club, who has been pushing for a move to Liverpool for weeks. If the Swede is sold to the Reds for the rumored 130 million euros, the Magpies would have the necessary cash to convince Stuttgart of a transfer.

For Woltemade, it would be the next big career step: After a strong season with VfB and the final breakthrough in the Bundesliga, the Premier League is now beckoning.

According to information from Sky, it is a "done deal". Accordingly, VfB will receive a fixed transfer fee of 85 million euros. This can increase by another five million euros through bonus payments. Woltemade has already said goodbye to the team and is on his way to Newcastle, as the pay-TV station reports.

For Bayern, the move to Newcastle is a bitter setback. Sporting director Max Eberl and sporting director Christoph Freund had early agreed with the player on a transfer. Woltemade was supposed to temporarily replace Jamal Musiala, who will be missing for a long time after his fibula fracture, and in the long term relieve Harry Kane at the front.
