Woltemade’s Arrival and Transfer Details
Sources have told SportingPedia that Woltemade arrived in England on Thursday evening, preparing to finalise his move. The striker is scheduled to undergo medical examinations on Friday before officially joining Newcastle’s squad. The club have been seeking to reinforce their attacking options throughout the transfer window, with several prior attempts to sign alternative forwards proving unsuccessful.
Background: Bayern Interest and Stuttgart’s Decision
This summer saw Woltemade emerge as a top target for Bayern Munich. However, the reigning Bundesliga champions were unwilling to meet Stuttgart’s valuation — leaving the door open for Newcastle’s successful approach. Stuttgart decided to retain the player until Newcastle tabled their substantial offer.
