Newcastle signs the most expensive striker in the history of teams, filling the big pit of Isaac s rejection

9:00pm, 30 August 2025Football

Newcastle United Football Club announced on the 30th that it had signed forward Nick Waltermad from Stuttgart Club in Germany, and the transfer fee set a new transfer fee record for the club.

At the beginning of this summer transfer window, as the former striker Callum Wilson left the team as a free agent, Newcastle United originally planned to only introduce a new striker. But then the team's core scorer Alexander Isaac made a request to transfer to Liverpool, putting the club under pressure.

It is reported that Liverpool's initial offer of £110 million has been rejected by Newcastle United. The club management has privately stated that it would not consider selling Isaac this summer. But analysts generally believe that if a suitable replacement can be found, Newcastle United's position may change.

After introducing Manchester City Liam Drapp and Brighton team João Pedro were intercepted by Chelsea, and Leipzig Benjamin Cesco was signed by Manchester United, Newcastle United finally targeted the 23-year-old German youth international Walter Madd. The player scored 12 goals in the Bundesliga last season and performed well in the European U21 Youth Championship this summer.

Waltermad's transfer fee is £65 million basic fee, plus an additional clause of £4.3 million, setting a record for Newcastle United's history signing. The player said: "I am very happy to join this great club. Since my first contact, I have felt the sincerity of the club and my long-term plan. " It is reported that Bayern Munich Club has tried to introduce the player many times before but failed.

With Waltermad joining, Liverpool is expected to seek Isaac from Newcastle United again. The Swedish striker had previously publicly stated that he would not return to St James' Park Stadium because the club did not fulfill his contract renewal commitment. It is reported that if Newcastle United reveals its intention to negotiate, Liverpool may make a new offer of 130 million pounds, but it is unlikely to meet the 150 million pounds price previously set by Newcastle United.
