German striker Walter Mad is about to transfer to Newcastle by buzzer. German legend Mattus expressed his praise for Stuttgart's senior management for completing a great deal, and the players' physical fitness to adapt to the Premier League only needs to prove themselves.

According to Biography, the two clubs have reached an agreement on a transfer of Walter Mad, and the 23-year-old striker's transfer fee will be as high as 85 million euros (plus a possible bonus of 5 million euros).

Regarding this deal, Mattus told Bistro: "Everyone can only praise Stuttgart's management. They did everything right in this very difficult and intense transfer window."

Mattus: "This is an excellent deal, I want to pay tribute to Stuttgart. They have been tough for so long. This shows the unity of the management. Now they also have enough funds to find a replacement. Perhaps the tactical system needs a slight adjustment. Gruda or Viple will be an interesting offensive choice."

There have been some rumors about Gruda a few days ago, and Sky Sports reported that Stuttgart was interested in loaning him. The midfielder joined Premier League team Brighton from Mainz for a transfer fee of €31.5 million last summer, but has not yet truly gained a foothold. However, according to Biography, Gruda is very likely not to transfer to Stuttgart.

As for Waltermad's decision to transfer to Newcastle, Matthew said: "From Waltermad's point of view, you have to understand this situation and this transfer. He can make more money there. And Bayern is not willing to put enough money on the table, unlike they did in Louis Dias' transfer."

Matthew also talked about the impact of Waltermad's transfer on his future in the German national team. : "Naglesmann can't complain like he did about Sane's transfer, saying that Waltermad was transferred to a league with a lower level than the Bundesliga."

Matthews: "Waltermad is in the best league in the world now. I can't imagine Newcastle spending nearly 90 million to put him on the bench. I think he's very suitable for the Premier League with his physical condition. Next he has to stand firm there to prove himself."
