Aston Villa is targeting Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade in a potential €65M deal this summer, marking what would be a significant loss on paper for a club that paid €75M plus €5M in add-ons just one year ago.
The 24-year-old German international moved to St James’ Park from VfB Stuttgart in August 2025 in what was a record-breaking transfer.
A debut season that didn’t go to plan
Woltemade’s first campaign in the Premier League has reportedly been marked by struggle and discontent. The forward has been described as unhappy during his time at Newcastle, a development that rarely ends well for either party in football’s high-stakes ecosystem.
Newcastle’s response has been pragmatic rather than sentimental. The club has set a €65M asking price for a permanent sale, effectively accepting a minimum €10M haircut on their initial outlay before even factoring in the potential add-ons from the Stuttgart deal.
