Overview
- On Sunday, June 21, 2026, Spanish outlet AS — as relayed by Yahoo Sports and Birmingham Live — reported that Aston Villa have joined other clubs in showing interest in Newcastle forward Nick Woltemade.
- Those reports say Newcastle are asking around €65 million for Woltemade while also being open to loan options that Atlético Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have reportedly explored.
- Woltemade is under a long-term contract at Newcastle running to 2031 and completed a mixed 2025/26 Premier League season with eight goals and three assists in 33 appearances.
- Reporters and analysts cited in the coverage argue Woltemade’s 6ft6in frame and link-up play could suit Unai Emery’s tactical system and would add depth behind Ollie Watkins and Tammy Abraham.
- No club has confirmed a transfer and Woltemade remains with Germany at the World Cup, so the situation is at an early, unconfirmed stage with multiple pathways possible.
