According to Transfermarkt’s 2025 rankings, Nick Woltemade has recorded the world's second-highest market value increase, surging by €62.5 million in just one year. This meteoric rise is surpassed only by Michael Olise. It marks a staggering transformation for a player who, just twelve months ago, was valued at a modest €7.5 million.

Woltemade’s ascent began after joining VfB Stuttgart on a free transfer in 2024. He enjoyed a breakout 24/25 season, netting 17 goals and sparking a massive bidding war. Despite a market value of €30 million at the time, Newcastle United spent €75 million to secure his services last summer. The investment has paid off immediately, as the German striker has already scored 7 goals in 14 Premier League appearances.

Currently valued at €70 million, Woltemade has effectively added a "0" to his valuation from early 2025. His blend of physical presence and technical skill has made him one of the most talked-about talents in England. As his value continues to climb, Woltemade stands as a testament to how quickly a career can reach elite status through a single dominant year.
