Overview
- Nick Woltemade said he found Karl-Heinz Rummenigge’s comment “somewhat unfortunate” but stressed there was no bad blood with Bayern players after his summer move.
- The 23-year-old has started fast for Newcastle, scoring seven times in his first 14 appearances across competitions since joining from Stuttgart.
- He struck a brace for Germany against Luxembourg on 14 November and added another goal versus Slovakia on 17 November during the international window.
- Newcastle paid a reported club-record fee of about £69m (roughly €85m with add-ons) after Bayern’s efforts topped out near €60m and Stuttgart held out for far more.
- Media reports say Bayern are still tracking the forward following the transfer, though any future approach is described as dependent on performance and market conditions.
