Just over a year ago, FC Bayern Munich pursued a transfer for Nick Woltemade intensively. However, the Bavarian club refused to meet VfB Stuttgart’s asking price, and the 24-year-old forward eventually joined Newcastle United for a reported €75 million.
Struggles at Newcastle and Loan Move to Juventus
After a promising start to the season, Woltemade failed to establish himself at St James’ Park. He is now on loan at Juventus Turin, where he has also faced harsh criticism from the Italian press. The question arises: could a return to the Bundesliga be on the cards?
Expert Predicts Eventual Bayern Move
Sports journalist Andy Brassell is convinced that a move to Munich is still inevitable. Talksport quoted his remarks from the Hawksbee & Jacobs show: „Ich glaube immer noch, dass Woltemade irgendwann beim FC Bayern landen wird. Man war schon vor Newcastle davon überzeugt, dass er dorthin wechseln würde. Und auch bei Juventus hatte er einen schwierigen Start, eine ziemlich chaotische Situation.“
The insider added: „Ich denke, der FC Bayern wird das beobachten und sich denken: ‚Wir könnten diesen Spieler, den wir unbedingt haben wollten, irgendwann in der Zukunft vielleicht für einen Spottpreis verpflichten.‘“
Potential Long-Term Successor to Harry Kane
Talksport suggests Woltemade as a possible long-term successor to Harry Kane (33), although the England captain is reportedly hoping for several more years at the club and a new lucrative contract.
Fresh Opportunity Under Spalletti
Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti remains unfazed by the speculation and criticism directed at both the player and himself. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Spalletti plans to field the German international in the upcoming Europa League opener against NEC Nijmegen. This match could hand Woltemade his first start for the Bianconeri, potentially alongside €40 million signing Randal Kolo Muani (27), who has also struggled to make an impact since his arrival.
