Juventus, saying goodbye to Woltemade in January is complicated: only two solutions

Yes, because in the 2026/2027 season Woltemade has already worn two different shirts for two different teams. One was obviously Juventus, the other Newcastle.

Before moving to Turin, the Bremen-born 2002 player had in fact started the 3-2 Carabao Cup win over West Brom and then came on for 19 minutes, also providing an assist, in the 2-0 Premier League win over Tottenham.

Why does this matter? Because the regulations on international transfers allow a player to change clubs as many as three times over the course of an entire season, but to take to the pitch for only two of them.

Put simply, if Woltemade wants to find more playing time away from Juventus, he can do so only by moving to Newcastle. He could also join a third club, but he will not be able to set foot on the pitch in official matches until 30 June 2027.

If Juventus want to cut short Woltemade's loan in January and bring in a new player, they can only do it if Newcastle agree to take the German back and use him. On the other hand, the player himself could oppose the move if he wants to keep playing until the end of the year.
