Bayern Munich could reignite their interest in Newcastle United striker Nick Waltermade after a major change in his transfer situation.
The German giants are reportedly keeping a close eye on the striker’s situation after his unexpected loan departure from St James’ Park, with a summer move now on the cards.
Bayern Munich considering another transfer for Nick Waltermade
according to Football InsiderBayern Munich remain interested in Walter Mader and could explore a deal upon the 24-year-old’s return from one season at Juventus.
The Bundesliga champions had previously been keen to sign the Germany international before Newcastle secured a contract until 2025. However, that has since changed, with the Magpies reportedly prepared to consider a permanent offer for the striker.
Walter Mader’s loan deal with Juventus does not include an option to buy, meaning Newcastle retain control of his future. Despite this, reports suggest the club do not see him in their long-term plans, which could open the door for Bayern to revisit their interest.
Walter Mader faces uncertain future
Newcastle’s decision to bring in Matias Fernandez Pardo reportedly led to the departure of Walter Mader, while the performance of Yoani Visa has also impacted competition for attacking positions.
The Germany striker will now look to make the most of his opportunities in Italy and prove he can perform at the highest level. A productive season could strengthen his position in the transfer market and attract interest from several European clubs.
Bayern, meanwhile, could view Walter Mader as a potential long-term attacking option, especially with questions surrounding the club’s high-profile demands for the future.
Much may depend on how well the player performs at Juventus next summer and Newcastle’s valuation. Although Bayern’s reported interest offers an interesting possibility, no deal has been agreed yet and there are several factors that could influence the outcome.
