"Newcastle paid €90 million for him in the summer, that's a fact. We saw something special in him. The difficulty in the transfer also stemmed from the publicity, where positions were discussed and leaked. We had set a certain budget for ourselves, which VfB Stuttgart didn't accept. Then we had to make a decision and say no,"
"Signing players from Newcastle is almost impossible because they have unlimited financial means due to the investors."
Max Eberl pursued Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart during the last transfer window. The transfer talks collapsed after VfB Stuttgart resisted Bayern’s budget and negotiations were complicated by public leaks of positions. Bayern withdrew from the pursuit and Woltemade transferred to Newcastle United for €90 million. Newcastle’s investor-backed finances give the club significant spending power, reducing the likelihood of future transfers from Newcastle to Bayern. Woltemade remains open to a future move to Bayern, but continued progression at Newcastle could increase his market value and willingness to accept higher offers.
