Courted for a good part of the summer by Bayern Munich, Nick Woltemade (23, 3 games and 2 goals in the Premier League this season) ultimately did not join the Bavarian club. Stuttgart claimed an amount deemed too high, which prompted Bayern to abandon the track. In the last hours of the transfer window, the German striker took over the management of Newcastle, for an estimated transfer of 90 million euros, bonus included. A choice that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, member of the Munich supervisory board, does not seem to regret.
“I can only congratulate Stuttgart for having found, in quotes, an idiot to pay as much, because that, we, we would certainly not have done it”said the former striker to the media BR24which specifies that the Bavarian management was not willing to exceed the services of Woltemade. Declarations that will not appeal to the leaders of Stuttgart. Since arriving in England, the German neo-international has scored two goals in three Premier League games.
