Newcastle United have told Nick Woltemade that he can leave this summer. As per the latest transfer news, Liverpool are among the clubs keeping an eye on the German striker, with Manchester United also alert to his situation. Newcastle would prefer a full sale, but a loan exit looks far more likely.
Nick Woltemade transfer situation
Woltemade has found it hard to settle at St James’ Park since his big money move last year. As reported by CAUGHTOFFSIDE, Newcastle now want around €65 million for a permanent deal. Aston Villa, Atletico Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund have all shown real interest already. West Ham are also keen after going down from the Premier League last season. A loan with an option to buy looks more likely than a straight sale, mainly due to the price Newcastle want for him.
What makes this story stand out is fresh interest from two of England’s biggest clubs. As reported by GIVEMESPORT, Liverpool and Manchester United are both aware that Woltemade may be available this summer. Neither club has held talks yet, and he is not seen as a top target for either side right now, but both plan to watch how things develop.
Woltemade’s stats in the 2025-26 season for Newcastle & Stuttgart, as per FOTMOB:
Competitions Appearances Goals Assists
Premier League 33 8 3
FA Cup 3 1 1
EFL Cup 5 1 0
UCL 10 1 0
Bundesliga 1 0 0
Why clubs still rate Nick Woltemade
The numbers help explain why Newcastle are willing to let him go. Woltemade managed just eight goals and three assists in 33 Premier League games last season. That is a modest return for a player signed from Stuttgart for €75 million. The gap between fee and output is the main reason a straight sale looks unlikely this summer.
Even so, he is only 24 years old. He can play as a lead striker or in a deeper role just behind the front man. That range could make him a useful pick for a side chasing football on several fronts next season. From a tactical perspective, he likes to drop deep and link play, rather than stay fixed on the last line. That style suits a team looking for a forward who brings others into the game.
As reported by BBC, he remains under contract at Newcastle until 2031, which gives the club real say in any loan talks. A move away for a season could give him the regular starts he has lacked on Tyneside, and a fresh run of games might be exactly what his career needs right now.
Newcastle facing a tough summer
Woltemade’s uncertain future adds to a difficult few months at St James’ Park. Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon have both left the club already, while captain Bruno Guimaraes is also expected to depart before the transfer window shuts. As reported by ESPN, Eddie Howe stepped down as manager just weeks before the new season started. That has left Newcastle to find a new boss at a busy point in the summer. Losing Woltemade would not carry the same weight as those bigger departures. Still, it points to a club going through real change.
The Reds and Manchester United will keep tracking the situation rather than push for a quick deal right away. Newcastle, for their part, seem ready to accept a loan rather than hold out for a full sale before the window shuts. The coming weeks should make clear where Woltemade plays his football next season.
