Nick Woltemade (Stuttgart)
August 2025
Newcastle have agreed a £74m club-record deal to sign Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade, accelerating Alexander Isak’s push for a Liverpool switch. The German forward netted 17 goals last season and will replace Isak, who remains exiled amid his transfer standoff. Woltemade’s move, confirmed after he bid farewell to Stuttgart teammates, follows Newcastle’s need for attacking reinforcements. With Isak refusing to play while forcing a Liverpool move, the Magpies’ major investment signals they are now prepared to sanction his departure before the window closes.
