Newcastle Near €90 Million Deal for Stuttgart Striker Woltemade, Beating Bayern

Investor-backed spending exposes the gap to the Bundesliga.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Newcastle will pay €85 million plus up to €5 million in bonuses for the 23-year-old.
  • Woltemade flew to England for a medical and is expected to sign a long-term contract.
  • Bayern’s weeks of talks fell short of Stuttgart’s valuation as lower bids were rejected.
  • Stuttgart secures a windfall after holding firm, but now must find replacements before the window closes.
  • Newcastle’s move follows PIF-fueled spending and a striker need linked to Alexander Isak’s push to leave.
