"It's no secret that I could have very well imagined a move to FC Bayern - for the same sporting reasons that now spoke in favour of Newcastle. I wanted to take the next step as a player - the Premier League is the best league. Newcastle showed me a clear plan and a very convincing perspective. The club also has a family feeling. In the end, it quickly became clear to me that I was very happy to accept this challenge,"
"It wasn't always easy for me. That's why it was very important that everything was normal in the dressing room. My teammates and the staff treated me normally and always tried to support me as best as possible."
Nick Woltemade pursued a move to Bayern Munich over the summer but ultimately joined Newcastle United when Bayern and VfB Stuttgart could not complete a deal. The change was difficult, yet Woltemade accepted Newcastle's clear plan, convincing perspective, and family atmosphere and viewed the Premier League as the next step. Woltemade described awkwardness stemming from Stuttgart rejecting Bayern offers while remaining with teammates, and he praised teammates and staff for treating and supporting him normally. Questions remain about Woltemade's readiness given recent national team performances. Bayern faces a challenging schedule between international breaks with rotation and youth integration under scrutiny.
