NICK Woltemade has opened up on his code of silence after some of the scathing remarks about his £69million move from Stuttgart to Newcastle United.

- By LEE RYDER

The German international signed for the Magpies after Newcastle made the financial commitment ahead of Bayern Munich after he'd been tracked by both during 2025.

But in the end Bayern opted out of the move for the 6ft 6in striker and he became Newcastle's record signing.

Bayern and German legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge had branded Toon chiefs “idiots” for paying the money, However, Woltemade has scored seven goals in his first few months on Tyneside.

Speaking to the German media, Woltemade has described why he kept silent on the distracting headlines.
