Dortmund to monitor Felix Nmecha after social media issues | OneFootball

The athletic quality of Felix Nmecha is beyond any doubt. As long as the midfielder, who was signed from VfL Wolfsburg for around 30 million euros in the summer of 2023, is fit, there is hardly any way around Nmecha in the central hub of Borussia Dortmund. However, off the field, particularly in the realm of social media, BVB is not happy with the behavior of the 24-year-old and has now taken measures.

Even around the time of Nmecha's signing, he caused a stir in Dortmund with posts that were classified as homophobic and anti-queer. There was recent uproar again when Nmecha commemorated the US activist and Trump supporter Charlie Kirk, who was murdered on September 10.

BVB with a clear message for Nmecha

In the future, Borussia wants to prevent similar incidents. Although, according to a report by "Bild," managing director Lars Ricken and sporting director Sebastian Kehl assured Nmecha in a conversation that the club fully supports freedom of expression, they also made it clear that unrest caused by controversial posts is undesirable.

Therefore, Nmecha received instructions from the BVB bosses to coordinate his future announcements online with the club and its social media experts. This way, Nmecha is to be prevented from facing harsh public reactions again, which ultimately distract both the professional himself and the entire club from what is essential.
