Woltemade made an exceptional start to life at St James' Park as four goals in five Premier League matches saw him equal Alan Shearer's record of scoring in his first three home games for the club.
The German international has since found the net just three times in his last 25 top-flight matches and was left on the bench for the 3-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion last time out.
Eddie Howe is partly to blame for his struggles, as he's decided to play him in a deeper midfield position rather than an out-and-out striker.
Nonetheless, the 24-year-old's return of just 10 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions has only heightened speculation over a potential exit, and transfer guru Florian Plettenberg has revealed his current stance.
According to Plettenberg, Woltemade's 'main goal is to stay' at Newcastle, but if he isn't given an increase in game time, a summer move cannot be ruled out.
Bayern Munich have previously shown an interest in the towering striker, although they're not currently interested in pursuing a deal for the 10-cap international and have other priorities instead.
