Two years ago, he played in the third league.
Voltemade led the Germans to the final of the Youth European Championship.
The European Youth Championship was spectacular and brilliant. The Germans were in the second round of the draw, and they were drawn against England, the Czech Republic, and Slovenia in the group. The coach is inaccessible to Virts and Musial for obvious reasons, but the Stuttgart forward has fallen into line. Nick is hard to miss on the court—a lean, slim forward who looks like a basketball player: he’s 198 centimeters tall. Until recently, Stuttgart fans criticized the club for the transfer of the player, who scored only two goals and made one assist in 50 matches for Verder Serednyak.
Now, the “MOP” isn’t reflected in Nick’s game. Volthamed helped his team win the German Cup for the first time since 1997, the first time since Stuttgart trained Joachim Lev. New fans jokingly call the striker “Voltemessa.” The two-meter-tall nickname, which is more likely to be taken from Bulgarian striker Berbatov, is technically adept at working with the ball. This isn’t a kindergarten assessment, where all matinee participants are called good dancers. Volthamed, at the age of 23, opened his doors, although he recently signed a loan from the third-place Bundesliga club.
Coach Nagelsmann called Nick up to the German national team, where Voltemade has two no-contests. But in his youth, he scored a hat-trick against Slovenia in the opening match of Euro 2025. Then, he scored a goal and made two assists against the Czech Republic, and in the quarterfinal against Italy, the German added an assist. Voltemade helped Germany reach the semifinals after a tough battle with a talented opponent, winning 3-2 in extra time. In the final, where they will face familiar England (in the group stage, they won 2-1), they exited after defeating the French national team.
Voltemade was distinguished by an obstructed ball. Nick is the best marksman of Euro 2025, he has six goals. In the final, Liverpool’s Elliott will meet, due to the attacking midfielder’s four goals. Voltemade is also the best Euro 2025 assist provider, with three assists. He has created nine goals in a short period. As part of the German youth team, Nick has 12 goals in 16 matches; it is with his play that coach Di Salvo’s hopes for the final against England are linked. The opponents have players from Liverpool, Manchester City, and Newcastle, but the Germans know how to push.
Real and Bayern are closely watching the striker.
No one is considering the striker for the base of the Grand Slam as a definite winner after a successful season. But everyone is afraid of seeing the future superstar. The Germans were waiting for the superb central striker for the national team, as the times of Klose and Gomez are a thing of the past. Now, Nagelsmann has problems in the center of attack. The coach wasn’t so desperate as to put Havertz in the false nine position, but Julian would gladly accept Voltemade’s progression. The Germans didn’t win the Nations League, but there will be a World Cup where nines will be useful.
It’s just that Voltemade doesn’t always experience his growth in attack. Peter Crouch in his time couldn’t play in the fire, because at Liverpool and other clubs, they saw a man in the penalty box. German coaches are looking at Voltemade’s natural talents – Nick perfectly carries the ball forward and knows how to bypass several opponents. Therefore, sometimes in Stuttgart and in the youth team, it’s a two-meter player who leads the game late. It’s interesting to observe the feints of a person who doesn’t interfere with strong growth.
Nick’s game is a curiosity, so much attention is riveted to him. Moreover, the shrewd sporting directors of the Big Leagues expect to acquire the Stuttgart player for less than the market value of a 22-year-old central striker from a top team. Voltemade, as a newcomer at a high level, is valued at only €30 million, but the amount could be revised after the Euro 2025 championship as part of the German youth team. Nick predictably found himself on the list of the most recommended Bundesliga players last season.
Now, Real Madrid, where Habi Alonso had the idea of finding a great classic just in case, is evaluating Voltemade. It’s easy to read the “Creamy” coach’s thoughts: what if Vinisius has another bad season, and Mbappe tires to work in the center of the attack? Then a backup version of the attack is needed, the nickname is useful on the bench as the new Hoselu. But why should a striker who dreams of playing for the German national team be on the bench at Real Madrid? Here’s the Bavaria bench more interesting if Kane stays in Munich for only a year.
The German could stay in Stuttgart for the season, but it’s a risk.
We’ve seen it many times when promising strikers have delayed the club with a competition for too long. As a result, they lost valuable time, being covered in crisis segments of middling teams. Stuttgart is proud of the promising coach, Hoess. And Sebastian understands perfectly well that the coolest players in the “swabs,” like Havbek Shtiller and Striker Voltemade, must dream of being at the base of the main Champions League teams, and not spending their golden years in the ninth Bundesliga club. But what about Nick?
A football player’s career depends on the agent; an inexperienced player is hired by Voltemade, who costs the rest of the players 500,000 euros. But such an intermediary found Nick a practice in the Bundesliga’s third-tier club, and it was the right decision. Under Elorsberg, the player felt the taste of leadership, scoring goals and providing assists. Given that Thomas Müller’s style is sometimes read into his style, you can imagine the striker’s play in collaboration with other attackers. But while the Grandes are doubtful, because the guy has little experience, we’ll have to make a decision. If Voltemade is a courageous person who can adapt quickly, then he can rush to another league. They’ve shown interest in Roma. Roma are allowing striker Dovbik to move to another club. The Wolves now have a new coach, and Gasperini knows how to unleash his strikers—the Argentine striker from the Italian national team at Atalanta has achieved significant success. Mateo is now evaluating major clubs. Voltemade is also on short lists, so rushing to get to know him, Nick is close to a high-profile transfer.
