According to The Sun, Newcastle is keen on acquiring Nick Woltemade as their next striker. Bayern Munich was initially leading the race for his signature, but with Luis Diaz's move to Bayern, Newcastle's prospects have improved. Manchester United is also competing for the German Under-21 star, who is valued at £40 million. Both Premier League clubs are prioritizing the signing of a new No. 9 this summer. At 23, Woltemade has been a standout in the U21 Euros and is regarded as one of Europe’s brightest talents. Although Bayern showed earlier interest, financial constraints have posed challenges, which might pave the way for Newcastle and United to secure his signature. Eddie Howe, Newcastle's manager, is reportedly planning for a future without Alexander Isak, making the need for a new striker even more urgent.
