Pape Matar Sarri has also joined Juventus on loan with an option to buy from Tottenham on deadline day.
It had been clear for some time that Luciano Spalletti wanted another option at centre-forward to compete with Kolo Muani and Ekhator, following the departures of last season’s underperformers Lois Openda and Jonathan David.
Juventus had also been exploring potential deals for Manchester United’s Jonathan Zirkzee and Atletico Madrid’s Alexander Sorloth, but have eventually settled on a loan deal for Woltemade instead.

“Having come through the ranks at Werder Bremen, Woltemade made his first-team debut there in 2020. In 2022/23 he was loaned out to SV Elversberg and, later, after an impressive Bundesliga season, he moved to Stuttgart in the summer of 2024.
“He enjoyed a real breakout spell with Stuttgart, scoring 18 goals in 36 appearances and helping the side win the German Cup, which earned him a move to Premier League club Newcastle United in 2025. In 53 appearances for the Magpies, he scored 11 times and provided six assists.
“Now, a new journey in Italy awaits, and we can’t wait to see him in action. Welcome to Juventus, Nick!”

What happened
Juventus have officially announced the signing of Woltemade from Newcastle United in a deal worth €2.8m. The transfer, described as official, takes the German forward to Turin on a permanent move. Newcastle United had previously invested heavily in Woltemade, but the modest fee suggests Juventus secured a bargain as they look to strengthen their attacking options for the Serie A campaign.
Chance analysis
Juventus have pulled off a low-cost piece of business by landing Woltemade from Newcastle United for just €2.8m, a figure that hints at how far the player had drifted out of Eddie Howe's plans at St James' Park. For the Bianconeri, this is a low-risk addition that broadens their forward line and gives the coaching staff a new option in attack without committing significant financial resources. The move also reflects Newcastle's willingness to recoup value on a player they were prepared to move on.
Juventus gain an additional forward option on a low-cost permanent deal, slightly boosting their attacking depth for Serie A fixtures.
