Mourinho’s a big fan: Real chase BVB star | OneFootball

After his strong performances for the German national team and Borussia Dortmund, one BVB star has attracted the interest of Real Madrid. José Mourinho in particular is said to be a big fan.

Felix Nmecha once again drew attention to himself at the World Cup – and apparently also impressed those in charge at Real Madrid. As Sky reports, new Real coach José Mourinho is especially a big admirer of the Germany international. The Portuguese is said to have already inquired about the 25-year-old’s situation.

Nmecha delivered a strong performance in Germany’s 7-1 opening win over Curaçao. The midfielder made it 1-0 as early as the sixth minute, also helped create further dangerous chances, and was one of the most noticeable players on the pitch. Under national coach Julian Nagelsmann, the Dortmund man has now established himself as an important regular starter.

Real Madrid are still looking for reinforcements in midfield and apparently see Nmecha as an interesting option. According to Sky, besides Los Blancos, Manchester United and Manchester City are also closely monitoring the former Wolfsburg player’s development. Nmecha is not the only BVB professional reportedly on Madrid’s wishlist, either. Center-back Nico Schlotterbeck has also been linked with a move to the Spanish capital for weeks.

According to BILD, the 26-year-old has a release clause worth €50 million that Real Madrid could activate. Mourinho may therefore have set his sights on two Germany internationals from Dortmund.

However, Borussia Dortmund are in a strong negotiating position when it comes to Nmecha. The midfielder only extended his contract early until 2030 in March. The club’s decision-makers are firmly planning with this key player and do not actually want to let him go. In addition, a €70 million release clause will only take effect from 2027.

Nevertheless, Sky does not completely rule out a transfer this summer. According to the report, Dortmund could at least be willing to talk if an exceptionally high offer arrives. Given Nmecha’s sporting importance and his long-term contract, however, any potential fee would likely be significantly above the fixed release clause. If Nmecha confirms his strong World Cup performances, interest from Europe’s top clubs is likely to keep growing.
