"They thought he would be automatically straight into the Bayern squad, but part of the reason he didn't go, of course, was because he knew he wouldn't get game time up front [ahead of Harry Kane]. He wants to play as a striker, and he didn't go to Munich for that exact reason. So Munich are furious with themselves and the boy for allowing this situation to develop."
"Still, it looked for a while like Woltemade might make the move to Bayern instead, and it seems the Bavarian giants are still raging at how this played out. That's according to journalist Danny Kelly on the View From The Lane Podcast, as he explained that Woltemade likely chose not to go to Bayern due to the presence of Harry Kane up front."
Bayern Munich were furious after missing out on Nick Woltemade, who signed for Newcastle United. Woltemade moved to St James' Park as a replacement for Alexander Isak. Woltemade declined Bayern because he believed he would not get playing time ahead of Harry Kane and wants to play as a striker. Bayern felt angry at themselves and Woltemade for how the transfer unfolded. Newcastle supporters welcomed the signing as a major talent acquisition. The 23-year-old has scored one goal in four appearances for Newcastle so far and is expected to become a useful forward option after settling in.
