Nmecha to England? Top club pulls out of transfer race | OneFootball

Felix Nmecha is in high demand. But one club has apparently pulled out of the race for the 25-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder. Interest in the World Cup starter remains strong, however.

Thanks to his strong performances at the World Cup, the Germany international is attracting even more attention than before. From the English Premier League, Manchester United and Chelsea are showing the strongest interest in signing Nmecha, TEAMtalk reports.

According to the report, another English club has withdrawn from the bidding for the BVB pro. In their search for midfield reinforcements, Newcastle United had also explored the situation and already held initial talks. But according to information from TEAMtalk, the Magpies have stepped back from a move for Nmecha.

Sources close to Newcastle say the transfer fee demanded by Dortmund is too high. Accordingly, the Premier League club is unwilling to meet the reported figure of €120 million.

Top duo still interested

Besides the fee, there also appears to be a second stumbling block: Nmecha himself reportedly has doubts about a move to St James’ Park. People close to him say that despite Newcastle’s persistent interest, he is not fully convinced about a switch to the Magpies.

But the 25-year-old remains in demand. Manchester United are still closely surveying the market as they look to reshape their squad, especially in midfield. Chelsea are also working intensively to find reinforcements for the center of the pitch. Both clubs value Nmecha’s mix of athleticism, technique and versatility. His strong performances on the World Cup stage have fully convinced decision-makers that he has the potential to become a top European midfielder.

Even though Newcastle have withdrawn, a transfer to the Premier League remains a realistic option. Both Manchester United and Chelsea continue to follow Nmecha’s performances with great interest.
