Manchester United, Newcastle learn asking price for 24-year-old midfielder target

Manchester United and Newcastle United might have to pay a fee in the region of €40-45 million for midfield target Felix Nmecha.

According toCaught Offside, Borussia Dortmund will slap a price tag of around €40-45 million on rising midfielder Felix Nmecha. The German international has recently attracted the interest of Premier League sides, including Manchester United and Newcastle United, although a January move might come too soon.

Felix Nmecha has made a name for himself since moving to Borussia Dortmund, and there he has grown into an important player under Nuri Sahin this season. He was also a key part of the squad that reached the Champions League Final, and he could be on the move soon as interest from elsewhere continues to mount.

The 24-year-old midfielder has also become a full German international in the recent period, which has also brought together a band of clubs eager to take him out of Dortmund. The Bundesliga side has designed their business in a way that they would be willing to sell the player for the right price.

Manchester United and Newcastle United are interested, as Dortmund are reportedly demanding €40-45 million for the midfielder. This is the price they want to conduct business, as those Premier League sides will be eager to find out more about the 24-year-old midfielder.

There’s certainly interest, as Nmecha does fit either of those English sides and might come in to improve their current setup. Whether either club can afford a deal this big in January remains the question, as both Manchester United and Newcastle United might have other priorities.

Felix Nmecha’s deal looks likely in the summer

Dortmund are not likely to block any exit from the club in January despite Nmecha being an important part of the team in the context of the current season. Should one of the interested parties come in with the money, there’s a deal to be done. However, both Manchester United and Newcastle United may have other priorities, withthe Magpies likely to prioritise a winger.

Manchester United are seemingly all alright with their current midfield setup, although there arelinks to LOSC Lille star Angel Gomes. Still, this has more to do with his availability on the cheap. The Red Devils, under Ruben Amorim, are likely to make a move for a wing-back, meaning any move for a midfielder like Nmecha might have to be pushed until the summer.
