In view of the impending mission of the European Cup ranks, Borussia Dortmund has a personnel upheaval in summer. And according to the “picture”, a player who is actually planned as a building block for a better sporting future and should not be for sale at all. As the sheet reports, Manchester United is interested in a commitment from Felix Nmecha.
The stumbling English record champion had an eye on the 24-year-old to initiate a new beginning after the catastrophic season. The Red Devils would take around 40 million pounds, the equivalent of EUR 47.6 million, for the Dortmund midfielder, it is said.
Update March 22, 10:38 p.m.: “Sky” also reports on the intensive advertising of the Red Devils for NMECHA, but there has not yet been a contact. According to the TV station, too, one season without a European competition would only open the door for a sale. In this case, one would be ready to talk from a total of 50 million euros. The market value is currently EUR 28 million.
NMECHA is currently missing BVB because of a ligament injury. The Hamburger, who was committed to the black and yellow in 2023 for 30 million euros from Wolfsburg, has a contract until June 2028. After starting problems, the right foot has now reached the Westphalia, this season he was 20 times in the starting eleven before his failure, delivered five scores in competition.
In November, Niko Kovac’s predecessor Nuri Şahin rated NMECHAS as “very positive” and said: “He has to take the next step now. The next step is to understand when he can take a risk. Then we have a top top player for the next few years. He can play on the six or on the ten. These are midfielder that you want.” The three -time German international also has an English passport.
The supposedly interested United only took 13th place, playing his weakest season since Premier League foundation, and needs a breath of fresh air in the team. Co -owner Jim Ratcliffe recently criticized Red Devil’s past transfer policy and has targeted some players, including the former Dortmund Jadon Sancho (24), who is currently awarded to Chelsea FC. Leading the squad into a better future takes time, the donor emphasized. “We are in a phase of the transformation in which we move from the past to the future,” said Ratcliffe. In 2024/25, 246 million euros were invested in new players. Over the last five seasons, the expenses for new professionals have added up to over 900 million euros-the third part of all Premier League clubs since 2020.
