Juventus agree to sign Woltemade on loan from Newcastle
Juventus agree a season-long loan deal for Newcastle United forward Nick Woltemade.
Juventus have confirmed the arrival of forward Nick Woltemade from Newcastle and midfielder Pape Matar Sarr from Tottenham Hotspur on season-long loan deals. The Italian club will pay Newcastle £3.5 million for Woltemade, but there is no option for a permanent transfer. The Serie A side had also been in talks with Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee, whose move to Fiorentina fell through.
However, Juventus deemed Woltemade to be a better fit and more affordable. Unlike Manchester United's move for Zirkzee, Woltemade's loan agreement does not include an obligation-to-buy clause. Woltemade's arrival follows Sarr's temporary transfer from the Premier League, with the Senegal international joining for £2.1 million.
