According to Sky Sports, Newcastle will pay Walter Mad a transfer fee of 75 million euros, plus a bonus of 5 million euros.

Newcastle needs to introduce a new striker and negotiate a deal with Stuttgart for German international Walter Mad. Sky Sports said that Newcastle paid a fixed transfer fee of 75 million euros, plus a 5 million euro bonus, with a total price of 80 million euros (about 69 million pounds), which exceeded the cost of Newcastle signing Isaac three years ago (63 million pounds), making it the most expensive signing in Newcastle's history.

Waltermad arrived in England this Thursday night, underwent a medical examination at Newcastle on Friday, and then officially signed. Sky Sports said that after Newcastle signed Walter Mad, the possibility of Isaac transfer to Liverpool further increased. Liverpool had previously offered £110 million for Isaac, but was rejected by Newcastle. And Isaac has firmly expressed his desire to leave the team and refused to play for Newcastle.

Meanwhile, Newcastle is still seeking to buy Brentford striker Ioana Visa, who has different characteristics from Walter Mad. Previously, Newcastle was also interested in Wolves forward Yoll Stran Larson, but both offer was rejected by Wolves. Sky Sports said that since Walter Mad's physical condition is similar to that of Yor Stran Larson, Newcastle is unlikely to continue to introduce Yor Stran Larson after signing Walter Mad.

Walter Mad, 23, joined Stuttgart for free last summer, made 33 appearances and scored 17 goals last season. Newcastle has been paying attention to Waltermad for a long time. Newcastle coach Eddie Howe appreciates Waltermad's characteristics very much. Although he is 198 cm tall, he has excellent underfoot skills and creativity, and can compete with many different positions on the front line. Bayern was also interested in Walter Mad this summer, but their offer did not meet Stuttgart's requirements, and Newcastle eventually won the competition for players.

Stuttgart legend Kacao said: "Waltermad is an amazing player. He can score goals and assists. He is the perfect player in Stuttgart, the perfect No. 9. He does not meet people's conventional impression. He is tall, but his feet are very good." Newcastle is in need of such a No. 9 striker.
