Nmecha set for BVB exit? Hummels with clear message | OneFootball

After his strong performance in the 7–1 win over Curaçao, Felix Nmecha is once again in the spotlight. Mats Hummels is full of praise for the BVB star – and has a clear opinion on his future in Dortmund.

Felix Nmecha is currently enjoying a real purple patch. In Germany’s 7–1 victory over Curaçao, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder made an early statement with the opening goal and then received plenty of praise from prominent figures. Mats Hummels was particularly impressed, even naming his former teammate man of the match on MagentaTV after the game.

The former Germany international made no secret of how highly he rates the 25-year-old. “I value him greatly as a person and as a teammate. He’s genuinely a very pleasant teammate in the dressing room,” Hummels said about Nmecha. From a sporting perspective too, the 2014 World Cup winner sees enormous potential. “He has everything it takes to become an absolute world-class player,” Hummels stressed, adding: “I truly believe he can achieve anything in football.”

With his goal, Nmecha even wrote a small piece of club history. Together with Nico Schlotterbeck, he ensured that for the first time ever, two Dortmund players scored for Germany in a World Cup match. While Nmecha struck early on after a superb one-two with Florian Wirtz, Schlotterbeck later added another with a header.

BVB star Felix Nmecha: How realistic is a departure?

The midfielder’s strong performances inevitably raise the question of whether Borussia Dortmund can keep hold of him in the long term. But when presenter Laura Wontorra brought up the possibility of a move to a European giant like Real Madrid, Hummels reacted immediately.

“BVB are a massive club,” the former Dortmund player made clear with a broad grin. Only after Wontorra pointed out that there might be one or two clubs above the Black and Yellows did Hummels admit with a laugh: “You could see it that way.”

For Dortmund supporters, though, there is no immediate reason to worry. Nmecha only extended his contract until 2030 in March. In addition, according to information from BILD, a possible release clause would only come into effect from the summer of 2027. Given his development, one thing seems clear: Felix Nmecha has long since established himself as a key figure both in Dortmund and in the national team.
