Official | Nick Woltemade joins Newcastle from VfB Stuttgart for €90m

Newcastle have announced the signing of VfB Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade, who joins the club for a record €90m.

The fee is a base fee of €85m with €5m in add-ons, and it comes as a shock as Bayern Munich had chased Woltemade for the majority of the summer, making a bid as high as €60m, but this did not meet Stuttgart’s then asking price of €75m. Instead, the Swabians have managed to hold out for €15m more.

The 23-year-old signs a contract until 2030 on Tyneside and will likely be the replacement for Aleksander Isak.

On joining Newcastle, Woltemade said:

“I’m really happy to be at this amazing club. From the first contact, I felt like the club really wanted me and had big plans for me. It’s a big step in my life to leave Germany but everybody has welcomed me so well and it already feels like family. I have a really good feeling from speaking to the head coach that this is the right place for me to find my best level. I know the stadium from watching games on television – it looks amazing and I know the atmosphere is crazy. I’m really excited to play and start scoring goals here.”

Woltemade only joined Stuttgart last summer on a free transfer from Werder Bremen. Last season was his breakout year; the 23-year-old scored 17 in 33 games as Stuttgart went on to win the DFB Pokal. The striker also ended up being the best player at the under-21 Euros as Germany lost in the final to England.

The sale of Woltemade will make him Stuttgart’s record sale. The current holder is Benjamin Pavard who moved to Bayern Munich in 2019 for €35m.
