"Woltemade joined Newcastle from Stuttgart last summer and his fine form during his time in the Bundesliga means he's seemingly still on the radar of Bayern Munich. That's according to the Telegraph, though they suggest it's perhaps unlikely Woltemade will leave this summer, even if the Magpies are open to a deal for the right price. That price is estimated to be 69m."
"Newcastle manager Eddie Howe still has belief in Woltemade, and it looks like he will try to allow the player more time to adapt. It will be interesting to see, however, what position Woltemade ends up playing in the long run, as he has shone as both a centre-forward and as an attacking midfielder in his career so far."
"For the time being, it looks like Woltemade is probably dropping deep too often to play up front in Howe's system, but that's something the manager and player can work on. NUFC supporters will hope Woltemade can come good, or that another signing can perhaps come in to complement him in attack."
Nick Woltemade joined Newcastle from Stuttgart last summer but has not delivered convincingly in his first season at St James' Park. Bayern Munich reportedly remains interested in the German striker, though a departure this summer appears unlikely. Newcastle would demand around £69 million for the 24-year-old. Manager Eddie Howe retains belief in Woltemade and intends to provide additional time for adaptation. Questions exist regarding his optimal playing position, as he has performed well as both a centre-forward and attacking midfielder. Currently, Woltemade drops deep too frequently for a traditional striker role in Howe's system. Several other Newcastle players including Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, and Malick Thiaw face similar uncertainty regarding their futures.
