Matthias Geisel remains in constant contact with Nick Waltmead, according to Lee Ryder.
While the German forward spends the season on loan at Juventus, Geisel and Newcastle United continue to closely monitor his progress and development in Italy.
Ryder points out that he believes the door is still open to Waltmad's long-term future at St James' Park, with Geisel reiterating that the striker remains very much in the clubs plans.
Can we see him on Tyneside again next summer or will he be sold?
