After his strong performances at the World Cup, BVB star Felix Nmecha is attracting major interest on the transfer market. Lothar Matthäus is already warning Borussia Dortmund about a possible departure of the midfield star.
Felix Nmecha’s impressive displays at the World Cup are not only causing excitement, but apparently also generating major interest on the transfer market. Germany record international Lothar Matthäus already sees the Borussia Dortmund midfielder on his way to becoming an absolute world-class player – while at the same time warning BVB about the possible loss of one of their key men.
In his column for Sport Bild, Matthäus explains that Nmecha and fellow Germany international Deniz Undav are currently undergoing an extraordinary development. “If they continue on this path consistently, their clubs will not be able to keep them for much longer,” predicts the 65-year-old.
For Matthäus, the Club World Cup is far more than just a sporting competition. “The World Cup is a transfer marketplace,” writes the 1990 world champion. Strong performances on the big stage could completely change a player’s future within a few weeks – regardless of existing contracts or the clubs’ long-term plans.
Although Nmecha only recently extended his contract in Dortmund until 2030, Matthäus does not see that as any guarantee of a long-term stay. “But when it comes to successful World Cup stars, we are talking about transfer fees in the nine figures today. And when the immoral offers come in, clubs like VfB and BVB eventually can no longer say no.”

Matthäus was particularly impressed by the 25-year-old’s performance against Ivory Coast. Even before the tournament, he had counted Nmecha among the best box-to-box players in the world. After that display, he felt proven right in that assessment: “His presence, his technique, his movement with the ball and without the ball, plus superb tactical awareness! His speed, with which he tracked down opponents and defused dangerous situations without fouling! And he always made the right decisions – it was simply: Wow!”
The Dortmund player’s performances are now also said to be attracting international attention. According to Sport Bild, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool are among the clubs that have inquired about Nmecha. Even Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl is said to have already gathered information on the Germany international.
