Manchester United will reportedly look to sign 25-year-old German international Felix Nmecha from Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Felix Nmecha is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are combing the market for a versatile midfielder going into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Borussia Dortmund star. They are “expected to step up at the end of the season” amid his links with Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Meanwhile, the Bundesliga giants want around €60-65 million to sell the 25-year-old midfielder.
How has Felix Nmecha fared in the Bundesliga?
Felix Nmecha has made considerable progress since joining Borussia Dortmund from VfL Wolfsburg in July 2023. Born in Hamburg, the 25-year-old spent his formative years in England and graduated from the youth division at Manchester City. However, he has risen in prominence since returning to Germany in 2021.
The German international has made nearly 100 appearances for Borussia Dortmund thus far while chipping in with 13 goals and eight assists. Meanwhile, Nmecha’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
A man in demand
Chelsea may dip into the market for a midfielder in the summer transfer window, even though Liam Rosenior has a stacked midfield unit in his squad. While Enzo Maresca and Moises Caicedo are world-class, Romeo Lavia and Dario Essugo have struggled with fitness issues throughout this season. So, Nmecha is an option worth considering for Chelsea, with the West London club’s interest in its early stages.
Meanwhile, Felix Nmecha has been on Manchester United’s radar for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, as Casemiro will leave the Red Devils after the 2025/26 season ends. Additionally, Manuel Ugarte has struggled to make his mark in the last 18 months. Several candidates have thus emerged on Manchester United’s wishlist, with Nmecha also a viable target.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, the Lilywhites have signed Conor Gallagher this month. However, Yves Bissouma has no future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while recent reports have suggested that the North London club may not trigger the purchase option to keep Joao Palhinha beyond the 2025/26 season. So, Nmecha is an option worth considering for them.
The latest report has revealed that Manchester United “are expected to step up their pursuit at the end of the season” amid the Borussia Dortmund midfielder’s links with Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Meanwhile, the Bundesliga giants want around €60-65 million to sell the 25-year-old German international.
