Stuttgart Faces Significant Additional Fee Beyond Woltemade’s Buyout Clause Paid by Newcastle

Stuttgart due huge extra fee beyond Woltemade's "buyout clause" paid by Newcastle

VfB Stuttgart Set for Over €90 Million Windfall from Newcastle United for Nick Woltemade

VfB Stuttgart is poised to earn more than €90 million from Newcastle United following the transfer of striker Nick Woltemade.

Strong Start for Woltemade

The German forward has already made an impact at his new club, having scored during his debut match, contributing to a victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Transfer Details

Reportedly, the contract for Woltemade included a buyout provision set at €75 million; however, Newcastle went above this threshold, offering €85 million to secure the promising striker, surpassing Bayern Munich’s interest.

Additional Financial Incentives

The arrangement does not end with the initial transfer fee. VfB Stuttgart stands to gain an additional €2 million in the event Newcastle clinches either the Premier League or Champions League titles.

Furthermore, bonuses are linked to specific performance metrics:

  • €1 million bonus if Newcastle reaches the Champions League semi-finals, provided Woltemade plays at least 60% of the total available minutes.
  • An additional €500,000 will be awarded if he achieves the title of top scorer in the English Premier League.
