Manchester United's interest in Felix Nmecha is gaining momentum, with the Borussia Dortmund star open to a return to the Premier League this summer. Nmecha, 25, has emerged as one of the most complete midfielders in the Bundesliga after an impressive season at the heart of Edin Terzic's side. Across 42 appearances in all competitions, he returned five goals and three assists, while demonstrating excellent ball-carrying ability and strong duel-winning on the ground and in the air. Felix Nmecha's stats are impressive, with a 95% passing rate in the World Cup, and his versatility is enticing for Manchester United, who will likely need three midfielders this summer. Nmecha has been described as exceptional by former Dortmund star and coach, Nuri Sahin, who believes versatility is his greatest strength. The Germany international enjoyed an outstanding start to the World Cup, scoring one and assisting another in the 7-1 demolition of Curacao. Manchester United scouts were in attendance, relaying the standout performance back to the Old Trafford hierarchy. While Nmecha never made a senior appearance for Manchester City, it does give the potential move an added layer of edge, though it also exactly mirrors Jadon Sancho's journey to Manchester United. Manchester United are not alone in their pursuit of the Dortmund dynamo, however, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and a return to Manchester City all potential options this summer. Further afield, Spanish heavyweights FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are both confirmed admirers of Nmecha and have been made aware of his situation. Jose Mourinho is said to have specifically requested the German be part of his rebuild at the Santiago Bernabeu. In response to this growing interest, Dortmund were understood to have laid down a prohibitive asking price of around £100 million to part ways, perhaps influenced by the exorbitant fees being floated around for midfielders in the Premier League. However, this stance is solely a negotiating tactic, with well-placed sources indicating a deal could be possible for around £52 million – a much more reasonable figure. Standing 6'3 with pace and power, Nmecha would have little trouble acclimatising to the speed and physicality of Premier League football. His versatility is enticing as Manchester United will likely need three midfielders this summer, should a buyer be found for Manuel Ugarte, with a £39 million deal already struck for Atalanta's Ederson. Nmecha's potential signing would be a significant boost to Manchester United's midfield, and the club will be hoping to complete the deal ahead of the new season.
