Talks ahead – BVB keen to tie Felix Nmecha down long term | OneFootball

Currently, the headlines surrounding Borussia Dortmund are dominated by the personnel situations of Nico Schlotterbeck and Karim Adeyemi, both of whom have uncertain futures. While it remains open whether this duo, each under contract with BVB until summer 2027, will extend their contracts—and even departures after this season cannot be ruled out—another key player, Felix Nmecha, is slowly but surely coming into focus.

Nmecha, who was signed from VfL Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023 for around 30 million euros and has matured into a key figure in Dortmund’s midfield after a year of settling in, still has a contract valid until June 30, 2028. Nevertheless, BVB is already considering an extension.

BVB and Nmecha Already in Talks

According to information from WAZ, there has already been some informal communication between Borussia and the 25-year-old regarding an extension of their collaboration, but nothing concrete so far. This is also because the focus is currently on negotiations with Schlotterbeck and Adeyemi.

BVB, meanwhile, does not want to find itself in a situation where Nmecha would have only 18 months left on his contract in a year’s time. Instead, they aim to finalize an extension in the not-too-distant future—presumably even before the 2026 World Cup, which Nmecha, who is repeatedly linked with clubs from the English Premier League, could use to draw even more attention to himself.

It is quite likely that BVB will intensify their efforts regarding Nmecha’s contract after the winter transfer window. From the beginning of February, efforts to secure an extension could be ramped up—especially since, according to the current timeline, a decision regarding Schlotterbeck is expected by then. Ideally, with a good start to the new year, the club could plan with more certainty on the revenue from another year in the Champions League.
