Newcastle United fans already love Nick Woltemade, but constant chatter around Bayern Munich won’t go away.
Eyebrows were raised when Newcastle United snapped up Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart.
The German forward arrived days before Alexander Isak’s move to Liverpool, and was brought in to help cushion the blow from the Swede’s exit.
Woltemade impressed in one season at Stuttgart, but few could have expected him to make such a swift Premier League impact.
Woltemade has now scored four times in five Premier League outings, making himself an instant Newcastle hero.
German reporter shares Nick Woltemade to Bayern Munich claim
Newcastle appear to have struck gold in Woltemade, and many Toon fans believe that he is actually a more complete player than Isak.
The move sparked some strong reactions, as Uli Hoeness claimed that Newcastle had overpaid for Woltemade.
Hoeness highlighted that Bayern did make a bid to sign Woltemade from Stuttgart, but the offer came up short.
Chatter around Bayern just won’t go away, even with Woltemade just two months into his Newcastle career.
If it isn’t comments about Woltemade’s price tag, then it’s continued speculation about Bayern’s interest.
Sport Bild’s Christian Falk now claims that Woltemade would still love to play for Bayern one day.
Falk claims that any move to Bayern wouldn’t materialise in 2026 or even 2027, but Woltemade is – allegedly – still interested in a move down the line.
Harry Kane turns 33 next summer, and Bayern may begin to think about life after the England forward.
Woltemade is bound to be on their radar, given that he is now Germany’s top striker, but Newcastle have to block out all the noise.
Newcastle must shut out the constant Nick Woltemade chatter
Woltemade has only just arrived at St James’ Park – forget about any talk of a transfer away from Tyneside.
Newcastle handed Woltemade a contract until 2031 and won’t even be thinking about the idea of him moving on any time soon.
The manner of Isak’s exit may leave some scars for Newcastle fans, and fear of Woltemade forcing a transfer down the line would be understandable.
Just look at how Woltemade talks about his time at Newcastle; he celebrated a ‘magic’ night at St James’ Park against Benfica on Instagram just days ago.
Woltemade is loving his time at Newcastle and appears to have caught the Toon bug.
Maybe Bayern come knocking in the years to come, but if that does happen, it will mean that Woltemade has continued to score goals in a Newcastle shirt.
The chatter from Germany is likely to continue, possibly in an effort to unsettle Woltemade already, but Newcastle must block it all out and help the striker continue his fantastic start.
