The honorary president of Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeness, delivered a devastating blow in Newcastle about the signing of Nick Wolemade.
The Bundesliga champions were very interested in the German striker before his club record of 69 million pounds switched to the magpie.

The deal The 63 million pound in the shade put in the shade to sign Alexander Isak In 2022, which ironically completed a British transmission record £ 125 million after Liverpool on the Deadline Day.
The arrival of Woltemade finished Eddie Howe’s summer hunt for a striker after missing several destinations.
The 23-year-old seemed to be one of the names on this list after staying in his home country with Bayern Munich.
However, Vincent Kompany’s team did not agree with the rival Stuttgart that Newcastle opened the door to kidnap the move.
During the negotiations, Hoeness of Lothar Matthaus, who apparently annoyed the Woltemade’s price, was annoyed by being a fair rating of EUR 80-100 million (£ 69-86 million) than Bayern offered much less.
The lower end of this estimate ultimately turned out to be exactly what Stuttgart from Newcastle extracted.
During an interview with German television station Sport1, Hoeness was asked about Matthhaus’ correct prediction and replied: “He was just lucky.
“He [Woltemade] It is not worth the 90 million euros. “Bavaria’s honorary president continued in Newcastle and her PIF owners.
“This only happened because the money flows from Saudi Arabia.”
The signing of Woltemade was a large coup of state for Newcastle that was given Bavaria Looked rejected three bids for the 6 foot 6 inches forward.

“Bayern were ready to go everything for him”
European football expert Andy Brassell was previously full of praise for Woltemade before his arrival in Tyneside.
He said about the transfer insiders last month and said: “I think he will be a really good addition, and it is really impressive how you kept this at the Down depth because you are always amazed by other clubs.
“The Bavarians were ready to go everything for him. They were very, very sharp. He was interested in going there. They would not get to the number that Newcastle had, and it was a meteorical increase for him because he transformed him into this player to Werder Bremen, where he was not regular, and Stuttgart.
“If you are looking for someone who is a pretty loyal replacement for Isak with a high upward trend, I am not sure whether you could sign a lot of better players than he could have signed.
“He is 6 inches 6 inches, but he is not a typical target man. He likes to fall and dribbled.
“When Bavaria wanted him and the Bavarians were very sharp, they thought he could play with Harry Kane.

“I don’t know if there are many higher compliments than this because it has a very high football intelligence. He does not lose the ball very often and constantly progress.”
“Not ideal that the best German players move to England”
Woltemade began last season due to his 6 -foot -6 -inch frame with the nickname “Big Nick”, but ended it as a “two -meter -Messi”.
In 2023/24 he broke Werder Bremen, but only scored two goals in 30 games, and both came in the same game.
Stuttgart saw enough to see how he took a step into a Champions League team and was rewarded with 17 goals and a sales record sale.
While the opportunity to replace Isak in Newcastle is great, the national team manager of Woltemade expressed his only big problem.
The striker followed Liverpool Florian Wirtz in a surprising move to Bavaria to take over a transfer of the Premier League from the Bundesliga.

Julian Nagelsmann said: “I am happy when you play a lot of games and get many minutes, that’s the most important thing for me.
“It is not ideal for the German Bundesliga that the best German players move to England. But that’s how it is.
“It is normal at this time.”
Nagelsmann’s comments come 2-0 in Slovakia in the wake of Germany – their first qualification of the World Cup.
