Nick Woltemade is poised for a significant transfer back to Germany this summer after a challenging year at Newcastle United. The 24-year-old German striker was initially close to joining Bayern Munich last summer, but negotiations with VfB Stuttgart fell through over transfer fees. As a result, Woltemade moved to Newcastle for approximately €75 million, signing a contract that lasts until June 2031.
Performance Struggles at Newcastle
Woltemade has been underwhelming during his time in the Premier League. In 37 appearances for Newcastle, he scored just nine goals and tallied four assists. Moreover, his scoring drought has stretched to 13 competitive matches without a goal, prompting the club to consider his sale.
Potential Return to Bayern Munich
As speculation grows about his future, Bayern Munich is reportedly keeping an eye on Woltemade’s situation. Last summer, the Bavarian club was willing to spend around €45 million on him. However, his current market value is around €70 million.
