FC Barcelona weighed up a move for Nick Woltemade, but the opportunity presented itself after the club had already committed to pursuing Gabriel Jesus.
The German forward was offered to the Catalan giants in the dying embers of the transfer window, amid lingering uncertainty over his future at Newcastle. However, the potential deal failed to gain traction, and Woltemade ultimately sealed a loan move to Juventus running until June 2027.
By the time the German emerged on their radar, Gabriel Jesus had virtually wrapped up his switch to Barcelona. According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, the Brazilian explained that his agreement had been finalised discreetly, with the Catalan outfit never truly viewing Woltemade as a primary target to bolster their frontline.
