German striker Nick Woltemade has described Juventus as “the greatest club in Italy” after completing his move from Newcastle to the Turin club.
Juventus have taken the 24-year-old on loan, with the agreement running until the end of the current season. The stated duration of the loan is until the end of June 2027.
Woltemade gave his assessment of Juventus after leaving Newcastle for the Italian side, making clear the scale of the club he has joined. His comment provides the main talking point surrounding the move, with the forward placing Juventus above their domestic rivals in terms of stature.
The Germany international is now set to spend the loan period with Juventus, who have made a strong start to the Italian championship. After two rounds, the Turin side have collected six points and sit fourth in the league table.
That record means Juventus remain within reach of the leading positions at this early stage of the campaign. Their two victories have given them a perfect points return so far, although they are currently fourth in the standings.
Woltemade’s temporary move from Newcastle adds a new chapter to his career in Italy. The agreement is not described as a permanent transfer: Juventus have secured his services on loan, with the arrangement scheduled to last through the stated end date in June 2027.
His words about Juventus underline the importance he places on the club’s reputation. Rather than offering a routine assessment of his new surroundings, Woltemade called Juventus the greatest club in Italy, a statement that immediately frames his expectations for his time in Turin.
The 24-year-old’s move comes as Juventus continue their season with six points from their opening two matches. They occupy fourth place after those fixtures, while the loan agreement gives Woltemade a defined period in which to establish himself at the club.
For now, the confirmed details are his departure from Newcastle, his arrival at Juventus on loan and the length of the deal. The German striker’s verdict on Juventus’ standing in Italian football has provided the headline alongside the transfer itself.
