Woltemade open to leaving Newcastle as RB Leipzig consider loan move

RB Leipzig are reportedly closing in on the signing of Christopher Nkunku on loan, but the Frenchman may not be the only attacking player to arrive at the Bundesliga club before the transfer window closes.

According to Leipziger Volkszeitung, Leipzig could also make a move for Nick Woltemade.

The report claims that Woltemade is keen to leave Newcastle in search of more regular playing time and would be open to returning to the Bundesliga, where he has previously played for Werder Bremen and VfB Stuttgart.

A permanent transfer is considered unlikely for Leipzig, but a loan deal could be a realistic option.

Former Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, who is currently a free agent, is also mentioned by the local outlet as a potential option for Die Roten Bullen.

Another name on Leipzig’s radar is Club Brugge forward Nicolo Tresoldi, with Sky Germany reporting that the Bundesliga side are monitoring the Germany U21 international.
