Both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly added the central midfielder to their wish lists and are planning a concrete move in the summer. United, in particular, is undergoing another transformation, where Nmecha could play a key role. Tottenham is also considered a serious contender.

For Nmecha himself, a move to England would not be uncharted territory. The German national player was trained at Manchester City before moving to VfL Wolfsburg in 2021. He can generally envision a return to the island, which complicates the situation from Dortmund's perspective. His brother Lukas has already been playing in England again since last summer.

BVB wants to keep Nmecha: Contract runs until 2028

In terms of sports, Nmecha is one of the most consistent players at BVB this season. Under coach Niko Kovac, he is a key factor, having already played numerous competitive matches and becoming indispensable in the midfield center. This development has further fueled interest from abroad.

BVB is keen to retain the key player. Nmecha's contract runs until 2028, and he does not have a release clause. According to Sport Bild, there are tentative thoughts about a contract extension, but no final decisions have been made yet. Meanwhile, Dortmund plans to sign a classic defensive midfielder in the summer to relieve Nmecha and give him more offensive freedom.

It is clear: If Manchester United or Tottenham get serious, Borussia Dortmund could face a real test in the summer. Direct qualification for the Champions League is considered a crucial factor—not only in the pursuit of Nmecha but also with regard to the overall squad planning.
