Overview
- Nick Woltemade told BILD he read Karl-Heinz Rummenigge’s full comments and chose not to react at the time, calling the phrasing somewhat unfortunate.
- He said Bayern Munich players congratulated him at Germany camp and that there was no bad blood over his move.
- Newcastle signed Woltemade from Stuttgart for a club-record fee reported at about £69m after Bayern’s efforts stalled near €60m against Stuttgart’s €75m valuation.
- Since joining, Woltemade has 7 goals in 14 matches for Newcastle across competitions, including 4 in his first 8 Premier League appearances.
- He has also scored for Germany, netting a brace against Luxembourg, while former Newcastle winger Chris Waddle dismissed Rummenigge’s criticism as sour grapes.
