The midfielder has been in excellent form for Germany at the World Cup and could move to the Premier League this summer.
Nmecha is reportedly open to leaving Borussia Dortmund this summer. Desperate for a return to England, Manchester United are tracking him among clubs. The 25-year-old left the Manchester City academy set-up for a fresh start at Wolfsburg in 2021, before making a £26m switch to BVB two years later.
Since the move, the midfielder has contributed 21 goals in 112 outings for the Bundesliga outfit and earned a place in Germany’s World Cup squad. He scored and assisted in the country’s crushing 7-1 rout of Curacao before adding another assist to help seal progression to the knockout rounds.
The 25-year-old’s fame has never been higher. Reports suggest that although Nemecha signed a new Dortmund contract in March, his long-term future at the club remains uncertain.
It is understood that a deal worth around £52m could be agreed, a figure which has sparked considerable interest in the midfielder. However, United may face stiff competition from Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Nemecha’s brother Lucas also progressed through the youth system at City before joining Felix at Wolfsburg. The striker is now back on English soil with Leeds United, and his younger brother could follow suit this summer.
Team Talk reports that the midfielder’s camp believes there is a real chance for the player to secure a move during the window, with interest in his talent likely to remain strong throughout the big tournament.
A number of Premier League supporters have taken to social media to express their excitement at Nemecha’s display against Ivory Coast, urging their respective clubs to make their move. One Chelsea supporter wrote, “Felix Nemecha, what a player. I need him with Caicedo.”
Another commented: “If Xabi Alonso needs a midfielder who can carry the ball, win duels, cover ground, dominate transitions, and influence games at Chelsea, then I have two names: Felix Nemecha and Angelo Stellar. “I have 2 names, Felix Nemcha and Angelo Stellar.”
An Arsenal supporter added: “Felix Nemecha is a midfield general. He literally does everything with the ball: a 6’4″ midfielder who flows like a ballerina, is defensively solid like a bull, and passes the ball like a proper teacher. He should definitely be on Arsenal’s shortlist.”
One United supporter stated, ‘INEOS’s Felix Nmecha is not a gamble; he is a proven midfielder. ‘If Matthies Fernandes is not going to work, we must do everything for him.”
