Newcastle proposed Nmecha-Woltemade swap deal to Dortmund

Felix Nmecha was heavily linked with a move away from Borussia Dortmund during the summer transfer window, but ultimately remained at the Bundesliga club.

Newcastle United were among the clubs interested in the Germany international and made a creative attempt to bring him to St. James’ Park, according to Sport Bild.

The German outlet reports that Newcastle proposed a swap deal involving Nick Woltemade, alongside a multi-million-euro payment, in exchange for the 25-year-old midfielder.

However, Dortmund’s management quickly decided to reject the proposal, with Nmecha considered an integral part of the club’s plans for the coming season.

Nmecha remains under contract with Dortmund until the summer of 2030.
