Overview
- Nick Woltemade confirmed his €75 million move from Stuttgart to Newcastle after Bayern were reported as unwilling to go beyond roughly €60 million plus a sell‑on clause.
- The 23‑year‑old has six goals in 14 matches for Newcastle, settling after an initially bumpy start and stepping into greater expectations following Alexander Isak’s departure.
- He scored both goals in Germany’s 2–0 win in Luxembourg and Germany need at least a draw against Slovakia on Monday to secure World Cup qualification.
- Transfermarkt lifted his valuation to €65 million in October, with Lothar Matthäus suggesting his worth could now reach around €100 million, and another update is due in December.
- Responding to Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge’s ‘idiot’ remark about the fee, Woltemade called the comment unfortunate but not dramatic and said he tuned out the summer frenzy to stay focused.
