Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade may only have joined the club this summer, but he has already set his sights on a future move.
The Germany international joined the Magpies after impressing with Bundesliga team Stuttgart, and it is perhaps unsurprising that he has ambitions to return to his homeland.
According to ImageWoltemade would like to play for Bayern Munich one day as he was a target for them when he was in Stuttgart.
Woltemade scored seventeen goals for Stuttgart last season and also started excellently at Newcastle. He has found the back of the net five times in the first nine games in all competitions.
However, it appears the 23-year-old may not see his long-term future at St James’ Park as he is still interested in a potential move to Bayern at some point.
Could Nick Woltemade still end up at Bayern Munich?
As reported by Christian Falk for CF Bayern InsiderWoltemade was on Bayern’s list during last summer’s transfer window, although they were unable to get a deal done on this occasion.
Newcastle did well to win the race ahead of Woltemade, who has performed very well for Eddie Howe’s side so far as a key replacement for the outgoing Alexander Isak.
NUFC certainly won’t want to sell Woltemade anytime soon, but Bayern are the biggest team in Germany, so it’s not surprising he’ll see that as a great move for his career.
Maybe Newcastle can convince him to stay with them longer, but they are nowhere near as much of a force in the game.
The club has invested a lot to close the gap with the traditional big six, and they are making good progress, but it still looks like it will take a while before they get to where Manchester City ultimately ended up when they went on a similar journey.
