Top club steps up, progress made for BVB star Nmecha | OneFootball

A top English club is reportedly working hard on signing Felix Nmecha. The club is said to have already made progress in a potential transfer of the BVB star.

Felix Nmecha could still leave Borussia Dortmund this summer despite signals suggesting otherwise. According to information from French outlet L’Équipe, Newcastle United are continuing to push ahead with their efforts to sign the German international and are said to have recently made progress in a possible transfer. However, the report does not specify what form that progress has taken.

The background to this is Bruno Guimarães’ impending move to Arsenal. The Magpies are actively searching for a replacement and, according to the report, have already identified Nmecha as their preferred candidate for weeks. Newcastle are therefore now aware of all of Dortmund’s demands and are working intensively on signing the 25-year-old.

Borussia Dortmund are actually in a comfortable negotiating position. Nmecha’s contract runs until 2030, and the club’s decision-makers also view the midfielder as an important part of the team. Despite the ongoing speculation, BVB are publicly sticking to that line. Sporting director Ole Book recently made it clear that the national team player’s departure is currently not an issue. Nmecha is “one of the best midfielders in Germany” and is firmly part of the plans for next season.

Nevertheless, the Black and Yellows have apparently defined a clear breaking point. Dortmund would reportedly only be willing to consider a sale if the transfer fee reached around €120 million. Given Newcastle’s financial resources, such a figure appears entirely realistic.

The Premier League club has generated considerable income this transfer summer through several high-profile sales and therefore has the necessary room for a spectacular signing. Whether Newcastle will actually put the demanded sum on the table remains to be seen.

What is clear, however, is that the interest in the Dortmund midfielder is concrete and the talks seem to be gaining momentum. Should the English top club meet BVB’s asking price, Dortmund could still be forced to seriously reconsider despite all their public backing of Nmecha.
