Nmecha on an English giant's radar? Ex-international fuels rumours | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund once again have to deal with speculation surrounding Felix Nmecha. Former Germany international Robert Huth has now linked the BVB star with a spectacular move.

Felix Nmecha has continued to push himself further into the spotlight with his performances in recent months. Although the German national team crashed out of the World Cup early, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder was one of the few bright spots. That has also made an impression abroad – and is once again fueling speculation about his future.

Interest from the Premier League in particular has repeatedly been reported for the 25-year-old. However, a move to Manchester United no longer appears to be an issue for the time being. After the Red Devils strengthened their squad with Youri Tielemans, that transfer option seems to be off the table for now.

Instead, a former German international has now brought another top English club into the conversation. Robert Huth believes Nmecha would be in very good hands at Liverpool FC. “I think he would fit in well at Liverpool, under manager Iraola,” the former Premier League pro told Empire of the Kop. Huth based his assessment on the Liverpool coach’s style of play. “Quick, fluid football, rapid changes of direction and high ball recoveries” are key elements that would perfectly suit Nmecha’s profile.

BVB put an XXL price tag on Felix Nmecha

The former defender pointed in particular to Nmecha’s performances at the World Cup, which he said showed the Dortmund man is ready for bigger things. Whether Liverpool will actually make a move remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that Borussia Dortmund would not let one of their key players leave without a fight. Nmecha only signed a contract extension early in March, keeping him at the club until 2030. That puts the Black and Yellows in an excellent negotiating position.

Accordingly, the reported asking price is also extremely high. BVB are said to be willing to open talks only if an offer of at least €100 million is made. Even a financially powerful club like Liverpool would have to think carefully about an investment of that size.

In Dortmund, they are planning for the long term with the Germany international anyway. Sporting director Ole Book recently made it clear that Nmecha is firmly part of the squad of the future. Even so, the midfielder is likely to keep fueling the transfer rumors with his strong performances – especially if Premier League clubs continue to keep an eye on him.
