Nmecha’s situation is described as delicate following his recent move to an England-based agency, a development that has inevitably intensified speculation about a possible switch to the Premier League.
Felix Nmecha is a key asset for Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund signed Nmecha from Wolfsburg in 2023 as part of a long-term midfield rebuild.
Since then, the Germany international has developed into a physically dominant, tactically versatile presence in the centre of the park.
Capable of operating as a defensive No. 6 or a box-to-box No. 8, Nmecha combines size, athleticism and progressive ball-carrying.
Felix Nmecha’s stats this season
| Competition | Appearances | Minutes Played | Goals | Assists | Passing Accuracy | Yellow Cards | Red Cards |
| Bundesliga | 23 | 1,746 | 2 | 2 | 87% | 0 | 0 |
| UEFA Champions League | 9 | 664 | 3 | 0 | 89% | 0 | 0 |
| DFB-Pokal | 3 | 194 | 0 | 0 | – | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 35 | 2,604 | 5 | 2 | ~88% | 0 | 0 |
Chelsea and Man United are stepping up interest
Chelsea and Man United are both believed to be monitoring developments.
United, in particular, are planning midfield reinforcements amid potential departures, while Chelsea continue reshaping their squad with younger, high-upside profiles.
Dortmund may also field offers for winger Karim Adeyemi and striker Serhou Guirassy as part of a restructuring strategy.
Generating significant funds from multiple departures could allow BVB to refresh key areas of their squad.
Nmecha’s future will depend on whether the suitors, Chelsea and Man United in this case, meet Dortmund’s €70 million asking price.
