Shortly before the end of the transfer period, football player Nick Woltemade is a surprising change. According to media reports, the 23 -year -old striker changes from VfB Stuttgart to the conventional British club newcastle United. the Stuttgart confirmed that the striker had been released for talks with a “European club” from training and game operations.
As a transfer, the Swabian Bundesliga club should receive up to 90 million euros – provided that Woltemade exists the mandatory medical check planned for Friday. For VfB, this would be the highest transfer fee ever collected according to the 35 million that the association received in summer 2019 to switch from Benjamin pavard to FC Bayern Munich.
Economically, this would be a huge success for VfB, which woltemade had only won from Werder Bremen a year ago. From a sporting point of view, the striker’s departure could be a bitter loss for the stuttgart. At the dramatic round of first round in the DFB cup at Eintracht Braunschweig on Tuesday, Woltemade met both from the game and later in the penalty shootout. Previously,he had remained goalless in the first competitive games of the bundesliga season and had given Bayern a chance.
The possible change of the striker was the top topic on the national transfer market all summer. The player had informed VfB about his change of change early this summer and was already agreement with the Bayern. For the DFB Cup winner, however, the transfer fee offered by the Munich team was too low, which is why he did not let Woltemade out of his contract valid until 2028.
Around the Supercup, which the Munichers won in Stuttgart almost two weeks ago, vfb bosses Alexander Wehrle and Fabian Wohlgemuth had largely cleared the topic in their view. “The file is closed,” said CEO Wehrle. From sports director Wohlgemuth it said: “The topic is off the table.” Woltemade will also play for VfB this season, both assured in unison. Even in the days after,they were not deviated from this course.
