Newcastle United have reached an agreement with VfB Stuttgart for the signing of German international Nick Woltemade in a landmark deal valued at almost £70 million. The agreement, confirmed by multiple outlets, includes a base fee of around £65 million plus add-ons that could raise the final cost closer to £70 million, making it the Magpies’ most expensive signing.
The 23-year-old forward, who impressed last season in the Bundesliga with his blend of technical skill, aerial dominance, and versatility, is expected to undergo a medical this weekend before finalising his move to St James’ Park. His arrival marks a significant statement of intent from Newcastle as they look to bolster their squad ahead of a demanding campaign.
The deal's timing is particularly notable given growing speculation around the future of star striker Alexander Isak, with Liverpool reportedly preparing a £130 million bid for the Swedish international. Woltemade’s signing is widely viewed as Newcastle’s strategic move to ensure continuity in attack should Isak depart before the close of the transfer window.
Woltemade, who has already broken into Germany’s national team setup, will join a Newcastle side aiming to balance domestic ambitions with European commitments. His profile–a tall yet mobile centre-forward capable of linking play and finishing clinically, fits the club’s long-term vision of building a young, dynamic, and competitive squad.
If confirmed, the deal not only sets a new transfer benchmark for the Magpies but also signals their determination to remain competitive among the Premier League’s elite. Fans are expected to give Woltemade a rousing welcome, as excitement grows over how he will adapt to English football and contribute to Newcastle’s push for silverware.
