Manchester United and Liverpool have both been credited with interest in Nick Woltemade, according to Caught Offside — with the Newcastle striker’s future at St James’ Park now in genuine doubt.
The 24-year-old arrived at Newcastle last summer following a productive spell at Stuttgart, where he racked up 20 goal contributions in all competitions after joining as a free agent. His Premier League bow started brightly, but the second half of last season told a different story, with Woltemade increasingly frozen out of the starting XI.
Newcastle Soften Their Stance
Newcastle initially demanded a permanent fee in the region of £56m, but Caught Offside claim the Magpies are now willing to consider a loan with an option to buy next summer — a notable climbdown that could tempt suitors into action.
Why Both Clubs Are Watching
Liverpool’s interest makes sense given Hugo Ekitike’s injury has left Alexander Isak as their only fit senior striker. For United, it’s less urgent — Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee remain options, though Zirkzee’s rumoured move to Juventus could open a spot up front.
Standing at 6ft 6in, Woltemade offers aerial threat, penalty-box composure and even cover at CAM — a genuinely versatile profile.
