End of international truce obliges, it's time for the return of the championships. OM yesterday had a particularly attractive little overview of its latest recruits, like Benjamin Pavard and Nayef Aguerd, scorer for their first with their new club. Some Premier League clubs are not to be outdone. We think in particular of these transfers which have largely animated the last days of transfer window, namely Alexander Isak in Liverpool for € 145 million, and by echo that of Nick Woltemade in Newcastle for € 90 million.
To see the Swedish at work with the Reds, it will be necessary to wait until tomorrow and the trip to Burnley but the German giant should be very present on the lawn of St James's Park this Saturday afternoon (4 p.m.) for the reception of Wolverhampton. The 23-year-old striker also needs to take a little revenge on himself after having lived a few whistles with the selection to have remained silent during the surprising defeat against Slovakia, then the wiped victory against Northern Ireland.
“”I try not to trust the figures»»
He not only pays his bad performances with the Mannschaft but also, in part, his exorbitant transfer to the Magpies. Most observers are unanimous about it. He was surpassed by his new English club, which had just obtained the largest sum ever affected by an English club on the transfer window with the sale of Isak. Stuttgart, who had recruited her free a year ago, had stood up to Bayern a little earlier in the summer, said the Newcastle check did not refuse. It was necessary to take advantage of this combination of favorable factors: Premier League, transfer of Isak, Deadline of the Mercato and high rating of the player.
“”It's just a business. We players are part of this business, and I can't help it if one club wants to want a player and the other says that it is the price to paydefends Woltemade on Sky Sport Germany. We have no influence on this. For me, only performance counts. Even if I have this price now, it does not change anything that I say that I will take my time. It is important.“Whether he likes it or not, he now has a label in the back with the price of his transfer displayed on it. He is the only one who can justify this and silence the Cassandre.
“”In the end, I try not to trust the figures (from his transfer, editor's note). For me, only performance counts, and I don't want to link it to money. If outside people do that, that's how it is, I can't do anything about it. It's part of the football business.Difficult to prove it wrong, as you cannot want the public to have a judgment on these € 90 million, when the 23 -year -old striker had no reference before this last season in the Bundesliga. Only its rapid adaptation to the Premier League will be able to end the debate.
