After agent switch – are the signs pointing to a Felix Nmecha exit? | OneFootball

On Wednesday, Borussia Dortmund can and wants to secure the 2-0 lead they achieved last week against Atalanta Bergamo and advance to the round of 16 in the Champions League. Reaching the last 16 would not only bring BVB millions in additional revenue, but also an even bigger stage that some players could use to their advantage—especially Felix Nmecha, who may be preparing a move to the Premier League behind the scenes.

As BILD now reports, Nmecha has changed his agent and joined the agency "The Talent Table," which is run by two Englishmen and is based in Kington, UK. Regardless of the location and ownership of an agency, a change of agent always fuels suspicion that further changes are ahead and that Nmecha is planning a departure from Dortmund.

The midfielder, who was trained for many years in Manchester City's youth academy and joined Dortmund from VfL Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023 for 30 million euros, also holds British citizenship and, according to reports, has the big goal of playing in the Premier League one day. The German international, whom some experts believe could play an important role for the German national team at the 2026 World Cup, is reportedly not lacking in suitors. Among others, major clubs such as Chelsea FC, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United have been closely monitoring Nmecha's development for some time.

Willingness to negotiate starting at 70 million euros transfer fee

Since Nmecha still has a contract until 2028, which does not include a release clause, Dortmund's management can remain relatively relaxed about his situation. However, it is not completely out of the question that Nmecha could leave after the current season. According to BILD, CEO Lars Ricken and sporting director Sebastian Kehl would be open to talks if a transfer fee of around 70 million euros is offered.

Of course, BVB would much prefer to keep Nmecha long-term and make him a cornerstone of the team for years to come. When asked about a possible contract extension with Nmecha, sporting director Kehl said over the weekend that he was "doing his homework." It remains to be seen, however, what Nmecha's plans for the future will be.
