Newcastle manager explains why Woltemade agreed to join Juventus

Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle has shed light on the reasons behind Woltemade's move to Juventus. The German forward was pushed to leave Newcastle after learning about his role under the club's new manager. Juventus made a late and surprising bid for Woltemade in the last transfer window, despite earlier attempts to secure Joshua Zirkzee.

While the Bianconeri believed they had secured a top player, Woltemade's performance has yet to win over their supporters fully. Jaissle explained that Newcastle lacked attacking options, making Woltemade's departure seemingly questionable. However, he defended the decision, stating that the player's position within the team, influenced by their high-pressing style, played a significant role.

Woltemade faced competition for a place in the team, which may have been a factor in his decision to join Juventus on loan. Despite the move, Jaissle still highly regards Woltemade, emphasizing that he remains one of their players during his temporary departure.
