DFB striker Nick Woltemade has revealed the exact transfer fee involved in his move from VfB Stuttgart to Newcastle United. Contrary to widespread reports citing an 85 million euro base fee plus up to 5 million euros in bonuses, Woltemade clarified the amount was actually 75 million euros.
The 23-year-old forward enjoyed a strong season with Stuttgart, scoring 17 goals in 33 appearances. He contributed significantly to Stuttgart’s DFB-Pokal victory in May before sealing his move to the Premier League club at the end of August.
Since joining Newcastle, Woltemade has found the net 7 times and assisted twice in 21 matches. He expressed high satisfaction with his new environment, stating, “I am very happy. Newcastle is a 10 out of 10. It is a club that suits me well, both on and off the pitch.”
Newcastle currently sits 12th in the Premier League, trailing the Champions League qualification spots by just six points. In the Champions League group stage, the Magpies also rank 12th but remain within striking distance of securing a place in the knockout rounds.
Woltemade’s towering presence at 1.98 meters offers Newcastle a strong attacking asset as they push for European football. His move marks one of the most expensive German transfers in recent times, reflecting high expectations from both the club and the player.
The transfer fee figure adjustment from rumors underscores the often opaque nature of transfer deals. Woltemade’s transparency about the 75 million euro valuation provides clarity not only for fans but also for analysts following market trends and player valuations.
As the season progresses, Woltemade’s performance will be critical in helping Newcastle close the gap on the Premier League’s top four and advance in the Champions League. His initial impact suggests the club’s investment is well placed for future success.
