What reliable journo is now hearing about Woltemade transfer after Newcastle removed from socials | OneFootball

Nick Woltemade’s relationship with Newcastle United could be set to come to an early end this summer.

The Germany international surprised the footballing community online after opting to remove all mention of the Magpies from his socials.

This comes with the former VfB Stuttgart forward’s minutes in the north east having been curtailed in recent weeks.

Nick Woltemade may be concerned about Eddie Howe

Woltemade, it seems, would be perfectly content with the prospect of going again for Newcastle in the 2026/27 season.

However, there seems to be a possibility that his relationship with the club has eroded beyond repair ahead of the summer transfer window.

“Normally, Nick Woltemade wouldn’t want to leave Newcastle in the summer. However, we’ve all seen his socials (and, more specifically, what’s no longer on his socials),” Falk exclusively informed CF Bayern Insider.

“There is some background to this. There was an article from an English newspaper, and I think Woltemade is aware that the reporter in question is very close to Eddie Howe. It could be that perhaps the German feels the sentiment within the report is shared by his manager. I can say that, perhaps, this is true.

In which case, the opportunity of a potential reset at the end of the season could very well be on the cards for ex-Bundesliga ace.

At the present time, it seems unlikely that Bayern Munich will be the club to prise Nick Woltemade from St James’ Park.

Is Woltemade being played less?

In the Premier League in recent months, this is simply an indisputable fact.

Woltemade has played fewer than half the minutes he picked up from his first 15 Premier League outings for Newcastle.

Bayern won’t sign the Newcastle striker

In an ideal world, Bayern would more than likely welcome an addition of Woltemade’s quality to their squad.

However, with funds apportioned specifically for a left winger (ideally a positionally versatile option like Anthony Gordon) and a right-back, there’s not much wiggle room left beyond that.

“In amongst this, it’s worth highlighting that Newcastle should develop their interest in Nicolas Jackson. This makes sense. It could happen,” Christian Falk went on to add.

“In that event, it begs the question as to who would move in for Nick Woltemade. He costs a lot of money! €80m is a lot, and then you have to find a club willing to pay this amount.

“I heard rumours that Bayern Munich would be interested in the 24-year-old – but this isn’t the case at the moment, as he is simply too expensive.

“We have to see what happens next, but it does seem like this chapter between the former VfB Stuttgart star and Newcastle could end. Perhaps the desire to end the relationship is coming more from the Magpies’ end. Woltemade would have been up for the challenge of the next season in the north east.”

More to the point, FC Bayern have already accepted the reality that they’ll need to sell dispensable assets – like Bryan Zaragoza and João Palhinha – to cover both new signings. For now, the immediate priority is Gordon.

So, if Woltemade wishes to rejuvenate his playing career, he’ll need to set his sights somewhere else other than the Allianz Arena.
