AS reports that Aston Villa, Borussia Dortmund, and Atletico Madrid are monitoring Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade. The report states that Villa could potentially meet Newcastle's asking price of €65 million (£56m), and that a loan move is also a possibility. However, Bardell, who is described as well-connected in Villa circles, told The Roundtable that he feels the move cannot happen. He believes Newcastle would have a problem selling Woltemade to an English team as the club would face serious questions if he did well. Bardell also thinks that Villa will be unable to spend that €65 million price on one player, even if they sell a player like Morgan Rogers. He stated his belief that the market Villa are operating in this summer is between £35-40 million, or possibly less. Despite the player being heavily linked, Bardell said he does not believe the transfer will happen at all.

Nick Woltemade is expected to leave Newcastle United, and the club will listen to offers. Villa are interested in Nick Woltemade. One source with ties to the agents industry stated that Newcastle prefers a permanent sale for approximately €65m, but that it is currently more likely that clubs will seek a loan with an option to buy.

German forward Nick Woltemade is bothered by not being used more frequently as a striker 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.
