German forward Nick Woltemade is bothered by not being used more frequently as a striker, a position where his performance was stronger at the start of his time in England, and would consider a transfer if his role does not change. While there have been rumors of interest from Borussia Dortmund, Atlético Madrid, and Aston Villa, there has reportedly been no contact with another club. In an interview with Stern, the 24-year-old said he has no doubts about Newcastle and intends to establish himself at the club. He explained that it is more difficult for him to get into goal-scoring positions when not playing in the attack and acknowledged he is not satisfied with his recent form after a strong start raised expectations.

Newcastle United paid 75 million euros to Stuttgart for Woltemade, and his contract runs until 2031. Woltemade, who joined Newcastle in August 2025, has a current Transfermarkt market value of €55.00m. He has earned 11 caps and scored 4 goals for Germany. In the 2025/2026 Premier League season, he has made 33 appearances, scoring 8 goals and providing 3 assists.
