‘I’m Happy’ - Nick Woltemade Reveals Why He Left Newcastle United After £64m Struggle

The 24-year-old seeks a fresh start after scoring 11 goals in 53 appearances for Newcastle United, club officials said.

  • Newcastle United forward Nick Woltemade completed a season-long loan move to Serie A side Juventus, seeking to reignite his career in Italy.
  • His departure follows a difficult spell at Newcastle, where Woltemade struggled to adapt to manager Matthias Jaissle's high-intensity blueprint; the Magpies' £51 million signing of Matias Fernandez-Pardo cleared the path for his exit.
  • Woltemade, Newcastle's record signing at £64 million, featured 53 times in all competitions and scored 11 goals since arriving from VfB Stuttgart last summer.
  • Former Newcastle United midfielder Dietmar Hamann condemned the transfer, telling Sky in Germany he "was surprised" and believed Borussia Dortmund would have been "a better fit."
  • Expressing pride in joining the "biggest club in Italy," Woltemade noted his technique and intelligence align with Juventus, stating he intends to help the squad win.
