Premier League
Juventus has reached a verbal agreement with Newcastle to finalize the incorporation of Nick Woltemade, a 24-year-old forward. A good move within Juventus' transfer market.
As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, the Italian club is paying a loan fee of £3.5 million for the German international's loan until the end of the season, in an operation closed on Deadline Day which does not include a buying option or obligation.
Jonathan David's replacement in Juventus' squad
Woltemade's arrival in Turin is in response to the need of the board to cover the absence of Jonathan David, a forward who was loaned to Atlético de Madrid on this same market deadline day. Juventus' technical leadership swiftly initiated negotiations following the confirmation of the Canadian's departure to Spanish football.
The 24-year-old player joins offensive rotation under the guidance of coach Luciano Spalletti, competing for a place in the forward line with Randal Kolo Muani, Francisco Conceição, Kenan Yildiz, Arkadiusz Milik, Nico González, and Kerim Alajbegovic.
Reasons behind Nick Woltemade's departure from Newcastle
The departure of the Newcastle forward is due to not fitting into the tactical plans of coach Matthias Jaissle for the current season. The British board facilitated the forward's loan after securing the signing of striker Matías Fernández-Pardo from Lille for €60 million.
The player did not train with the English squad in the morning session after receiving authorization from St James' Park to formalize his contract in Serie A. The British club recovers £3.5 million from their wage bill with this simple loan before the end of the summer transfer window.
The player will fly to Italy in the next 4 hours to undergo a medical examination with Juventus. Once passing the physical exams at J Medical, the Turin club's executives will register the loan contract in Serie A's offices before the market deadline.
