Newcastle agree €80 million deal for 17-goal striker to unlock Isak to Liverpool

Newcastle are reportedly the verge of a club-record deal for Stuttgart's highly-rated striker Nick Woltemade in a move worth up to €80 million.

The Magpies are desperate to add atleast one new striker to their squad ahead of the transfer deadline, and after a series of setbacks, reports suggest they have finally reached an agreement.

The future of Alexander Isak is the hottest topic on Tyneside, with the striker making it clear he only wants to join Liverpool, and refusing to train or play for the club.

Newcastle have been adamant they will not sell their prized asset, but credible reports suggest they could be tempted to do so if a replacement is found.

Woltemade fits the profile of player Eddie Howe wants as his main striker, and his tall frame, standing at 6 ft 6, will cause a problem for Premier League defenders.

The 23-year-old had an excellent season for Stuttgart in 2024-25, scoring 17 times across 33 matches, and was top scorer at this summer’s European Under-21 Championship with six goals.

Bayern Munich had made three bids this summer for Woltemade, all rejected by Stuttgart. .

This move could now open the door for Isak to join Liverpool, who previously failed with a £110million offer for the striker on August 1.
