Bilal El Khannouss is talking to Belgian reporters in the press area of the Cegeka Arena, home of KRC Genk. While the attacking midfielder is discussing the details of a 0-0 draw with Ferencvaros, a journalist from Sporza can no longer contain himself.
Stuttgart have responded to statements made by Bayern Munich supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge regarding the transfer of striker Nick Woltemade to Newcastle. On Monday, Rummenigge took a swipe at the Magpies and called them "idiots" for splashing a club-record £69 million ($93m) on the Germany international.
Newcastle were branded "idiots" for agreeing to pay £69 million ($93m) to sign Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart as former Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge sarcastically congratulated their German rivals for the sale. Bayern had many attempts to sign the forward rebuffed over the summer, only for the Magpies to swoop in to land him.
Newcastle United's record summer signing Nick Woltemade has been labelled a "true gentleman" after a visit to the popular city restaurant Khai Khai. The German forward, who was linked with Bayern Munich for a large part of the summer transfer window, eventually swapped Stuttgart for the Magpies last month in a deal worth up to £69 million ($93m).
Liverpool are reportedly ready to submit a British-record £130 million ($175m) bid for Alexander Isak as Newcastle close in on Nick Woltemade as a replacement. The Reds, who have been circling the Swedish forward all summer, are said to be moving closer to tabling an official offer this weekend, with The Telegraph claiming the next 48 hours will be crucial.
