"Woltemade's campaign started with him playing the role of "rope" in a transfer tug-of-war between VfB Stuttgart and Bayern Munich. After VfB Stuttgart refused to accept Bayern Munich's terms, the player seemingly had made it clear that he wanted out of Stuttgart. Lo and behold, Newcastle United opened its coffers and paid VfB Stuttgart an absurd amount of money (€75 million) for the attacker and things seemed...great."
"Woltemade had not scored in the any competition since December 20th before netting a goal on Saturday vs. Aston Villa in the FA Cup. Woltemade has seen his role start to diminish - a red flag for German national team candidacy. Even that slide and the potential fallout have not deterred his vision of suiting up for Germany in the World Cup this summer."
""You always say as a kid, this is the dream, to play a World Cup. I'll be 24; for the next one I'll be 28, when I'll be in my prime. Then I may not even play in the next one because I'll be 32. But we have a good team and I'm feeling confident," Woltemade told British GQ (as captured by Get German Football News)."
Nick Woltemade moved from VfB Stuttgart to Newcastle United for €75 million after a transfer tussle involving Bayern Munich. He started at Newcastle positively, appeared happier, and showed improved performances for the German national team. A long scoring drought lasted from December 20th until a recent FA Cup goal against Aston Villa. His club role has begun to diminish, creating a potential obstacle for national-team selection under coach Julian Nagelsmann. Woltemade remains determined and confident about making the World Cup squad, while loose reports again link him to Bayern Munich amid uncertain club status.
