Karl-Heinz Rummenigge ridicules Newcastle, describing club as an ‘idiot’ for spending £69m on Nick Woltemade
Bayern Munich board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has labelled Newcastle “an idiot” for shelling out £69million on Nick Woltemade.
Bayern tried to sign the Germany international over the summer but, having seen two bids rejected, opted to walk away. Newcastle then stepped in with a club record bid to prise Woltemade from Stuttgart after missing out on several other targets.
