Overview

• Transfermarkt and The Independent report Newcastle have reached terms for the 23-year-old forward, who is expected to travel to the north-east for a medical on Friday.
• Stuttgart confirmed talks, released Woltemade from training and match duties, and indicated a final decision is due by Friday.
• Reported fees diverge, with Transfermarkt citing €85m plus €5m in add-ons and other outlets reporting about £65m, with no club confirmation yet.
• The move is viewed as preparation for possible change up front, as Alexander Isak wants to join Liverpool; an opening £110m bid was rejected and Newcastle are said to value him at £150m.
• Woltemade scored 17 goals in 33 appearances last season and led the U21 Euros scoring, while earlier bids from Bayern of around €60m were turned down.
