Nick Woltemade in Italy as Juventus move for Newcastle forward gathers pace

Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade has travelled to Italy for a medical before a proposed move to Juventus, according to transfer insider Nicolo Schira.

The 24-year-old Germany forward is expected to undergo the examination ahead of a potential agreement between the two clubs. If the medical is completed successfully, Newcastle and Juventus will finalise the deal.

Juventus would pay Newcastle €4m to take Woltemade on loan for one season. The proposed arrangement would see the Turin club secure the striker’s services temporarily, with the agreement dependent on the medical and the completion of the final formalities.

Woltemade joined Newcastle last summer and remains under contract with the English club until the end of June 2031. His long-term deal means Newcastle would retain his registration beyond the proposed loan period.

The forward is valued at €55m by Transfermarkt, making the reported €4m loan fee a relatively small proportion of his estimated market value. However, the source article provides no further details about whether the proposed agreement includes an option or obligation for Juventus to buy Woltemade permanently.

The move would take Woltemade to Italy if completed, following his spell with Newcastle. For now, the transfer remains subject to the outcome of his medical and the subsequent signing of the agreement between the clubs.

Schira announced Woltemade’s journey to Italy through social media, identifying the medical as the next step in negotiations between Newcastle and Juventus. Only if the examination is successful will the two sides proceed to conclude the deal.

The proposed one-season loan is for a player whose contract with Newcastle runs through June 2031, while Transfermarkt’s assessment places his current market value at €55m. The details reported so far concern the loan fee, the length of the temporary move and the medical required before the transfer can be completed.
