Done deal: Woltemade set for Newcastle move

Newcastle United have had a bid for Nick Woltemade accepted by VfB Stuttgart, according to several sources, including Sky Germany, the Daily Mail, and Fabrizio Romano.

According to Sky, the Premier League side will pay €85 million plus €5 million in add-ons to sign the striker.

Woltemade is reported to have said goodbye to his teammates and will now be heading to England for his medical.

The 23-year-old had previously agreed personal terms with Bayern Munich, but the deal failed to materialize after the German champions were unable to reach an agreement with Stuttgart over the transfer fee.

Update (21:40 CET): VfB Stuttgart have confirmed that Woltemade has been granted permission to speak to another club.

“Shortly before the close of the summer transfer window, VfB Stuttgart have received an offer from a European club for the immediate transfer of Nick Woltemade,” the Bundesliga club stated. 

“The terms of proposal led to the VfB club management releasing Nick Woltemade from training and match duties in order to hold talks with the interested party regarding a potential move. A decision on the matter is expected on Friday.”
