Nmecha’s future at BVB still unclear, agent announces initial talks | OneFootball

After some initial time following his transfer from VfL Wolfsburg to Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023, Felix Nmecha has long established himself as an indispensable key player in the black and yellow midfield. Aware of this and the interest from other clubs in the Premier League, BVB is aiming for an early extension of the contract with the national player, which currently runs until 2028, with an open outcome.

After Nmecha changed his agent a few months ago, the BVB officials recently met with Tobi Alabi from the now responsible agency The Talent Table, according to Sport BILD, and expressed their desire to extend the collaboration beyond 2028 – including a significant increase in the current annual salary of about five million euros. With approximately seven to eight million euros per annum, Nmecha could move into the upper third of the salary rankings at BVB.

Agent Reacts Rather Cautiously

Alabi's reaction to Dortmund's intentions, however, is rather cautious in Sport BILD: “There is no rush and no speculation on our part – he still has two full seasons ahead of him, and football often develops quite naturally over time. The most important thing is to continue working hard, staying healthy, and playing at the highest level. The rest will follow naturally,” the Nmecha agent indicates, currently seeing no reason for more concrete discussions.

For the future, however, there is a fundamental willingness to talk: “At the appropriate time, all discussions about the future will always be conducted respectfully and together with the club.”

At the same time, Alabi makes no secret of knowing his client's market value: “The player continues to develop from season to season, and when a player performs well, there is naturally always interest and questions about the future. That is part of top-level football and reflects the progress he has made.”

In the short term, however, the topic of the future is currently being put on the back burner by the player's side: “At the moment, the focus is clear: Felix is determined to give everything for Borussia Dortmund, to fight for the club, and to help the team achieve its goals.”

By May at the latest, however, movement in the personnel matter seems conceivable. Especially if an English club should push for Nmecha's signing.
