Newcastle Releases Woltemade, BVB Rumors Emerge

Nick Woltemade is set to leave Newcastle United this summer, as the club appears to have lost interest in the 24-year-old forward. This development raises questions about a potential move to Borussia Dortmund.

Last summer, Woltemade made headlines when he transferred from VfB Stuttgart to England for a staggering fee of €75 million. The German international chose Newcastle over Bayern Munich, who had also shown significant interest in the Bremen native.

Newcastle Grants Woltemade Permission to Leave

Despite a promising start in the Premier League, where he scored four goals in his first five matches, Woltemade's performance quickly declined. Over the next 28 appearances, he managed to find the back of the net just four more times. Now, the World Cup participant is once again on the brink of a transfer.

Top European Clubs Eyeing Woltemade?

According to reports from "Caught Offside," Newcastle has granted the towering striker, who stands at 1.98 meters, permission to seek a new club despite having a contract that runs until 2031. There appears to be no shortage of potential suitors for Woltemade.

In England, Premier League giants Liverpool, Manchester United, and Aston Villa are reportedly showing considerable interest. Additionally, Atlético Madrid is involved in the transfer discussions, while Borussia Dortmund is also being mentioned as a possible destination.

BVB a Candidate: Only if Guirassy Departs

However, a transfer to BVB seems contingent upon whether Serhou Guirassy (30) decides to leave Dortmund this summer. The financial challenge of signing Woltemade remains significant.

Newcastle is reportedly looking for a transfer fee in the region of €65 million. Alternatively, they may consider a loan deal with a purchase option.

While the 24-year-old may not be the top priority for the interested clubs, they are likely to monitor Woltemade's situation closely in the coming weeks. So far, no concrete negotiations have taken place.
