According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona had the opportunity to sign Nick Woltemade in the final stages of the summer transfer window, but the club had largely decided to bring in Gabriel Jesus, so the deal never materialized. Ultimately, Barcelona signed Jesus from Arsenal, while Woltemade joined Juventus on loan from Newcastle United.

The report states that when Woltemade was offered to Barcelona, his future at Newcastle United became uncertain. However, Mundo Deportivo claims that this potential deal never reached a substantial stage from beginning to end.

Woltemade had an outstanding season in Germany before joining Newcastle United from Stuttgart for €75 million. However, in England, he gradually lost his starting position, which led to speculation about his future. Borussia Dortmund and Atlético Madrid had been the most interested clubs, while Juventus accelerated their efforts in the final days of the transfer window and ultimately reached an agreement with Newcastle United to loan the German forward until June 30, 2027.

Gabriel Jesus previously revealed that he learned of Barcelona's interest around a week earlier, and negotiations subsequently developed rapidly with high confidentiality.

Therefore, when Woltemade caught Barcelona's attention last weekend, Jesus was already very close to joining. At the same time, Woltemade was not originally a priority target on Barcelona's list to strengthen their attack.

Ultimately, Woltemade chose to move to Turin, hoping to gain more playing time and a more stable role at Juventus than he had at Newcastle United. Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti values his physical condition, his ball retention ability, and his presence in the penalty area, and hopes to further strengthen the team's attack.
