Juventus Sign Forward Woltemade on Loan From Newcastle
Juventus signed the German forward on loan after Newcastle said his early-season role changes limited his chances.
- On Tuesday, Newcastle United confirmed German forward Nick Woltemade completed a deadline-day loan move to Juventus. The 24-year-old joins the Italian club for the remainder of the season.
- Signed last year in a club-record deal, Woltemade initially impressed before his form dipped as Eddie Howe deployed him in a central midfield role. Recent noises suggested a loan departure before the transfer window slammed shut.
- The German international featured 53 times for the Magpies, scoring 11 goals since arriving from VfB Stuttgart. His previous breakthrough season in Germany saw him score 18 goals in 36 appearances while winning the German Cup.
- Juventus, managed by Luciano Spalletti, also secured Senegal midfielder Pape Matar Sarr on loan from Tottenham Hotspur on deadline day. There is no obligation for the Italian side to sign Woltemade permanently next summer.
- Newcastle officials viewed a move abroad as the best decision for all parties. The deal ultimately hinged on the Magpies securing a new forward, with Matias Fernandez-Pardo arriving as the key domino to fall.
