As the transfer window is about to close, Bundesliga Stuttgart club striker Walter Mad completed a sensational transfer. It is reported that he will join Newcastle United in the Premier League with a transfer fee of 85 million euros plus a floating clause of 5 million euros, becoming one of the most shocking transfers in the Bundesliga this summer.

German legendary star Mattus praised Stuttgart's operations in an exclusive interview with Bistro after the news was confirmed. He said: "We can only praise Stuttgart's management, who did it very well in this extremely difficult and hot transfer window. This is an excellent deal, and we must pay tribute to Stuttgart. They have always been tough in the negotiations. This shows the unity of the top leaders."

Mattheus also pointed out that this transfer not only brought huge funds to the club, but also may promote tactical adjustments. He mentioned: "Now the club has the necessary funds to find reinforcements. Perhaps the system needs a slight adjustment, and Gruda or Weiper will be interesting offensive choices." However, rumors about Brayan Gruda's joining have changed. According to Sky Sports, Stuttgart does intend to loan it, but according to Biography, the former Mainz player who transferred to Brighton for 31.5 million euros last summer is likely to not join.

Regarding Waltermad's choice to enter the Premier League, Matthew explained: "From the perspective of Waltermad, he must understand his situation and this transfer. There he can make more money. Bayern is not willing to pay enough transfer fees, which is different from the situation of Louis Dias."

When talking about the impact of the transfer on the prospects of the national team, Matthew emphasized: "Naglesmann cannot complain like he did to Sane, saying that Waltermad went to a league lower than the Bundesliga. Waltermad is now playing in the best league in the world. I can't imagine Newcastle would spend nearly 90 million euros to buy him and let him sit on the bench. I believe that with his physical condition, it is very suitable for the Premier League. The next thing is to see how he gains a foothold."
