Dortmund find themselves negotiating from a position of real strength. Nmecha put pen to paper on a contract extension back in March, committing his future to Signal Iduna Park until 2030 – and crucially, that deal carries no exit clause for this summer. According toKicker, the club has set an informal price tag of around €100 million for any side hoping to prise him away this window, a figure designed to scare off the vast majority of would-be suitors outright.
Sporting director Lars Ricken left little doubt as to how the club views him, stating plainly in a recent interview: "Felix is for us elementary." Any club serious about signing him – United included – would need to table an enormous package just to get Dortmund to entertain a conversation.
