Borussia Dortmund have reportedly placed a €100 million (£86 million) valuation on midfielder Felix Nmecha as interest from Chelsea and Manchester United continues to intensify ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to reports in Germany, Dortmund are determined to retain one of their standout performers and have set a nine-figure asking price in an attempt to discourage potential suitors. The Bundesliga club are understood to regard Nmecha as a key part of their long-term plans and are under no immediate pressure to sanction his departure.
CHELSEA and Manchester United have both been linked with the Germany international in recent weeks, with the Premier League rivals reportedly monitoring his situation closely. While neither club is believed to have submitted a formal offer, scouts are said to have continued assessing the 25-year-old following an impressive campaign in Germany.
Nmecha has developed into one of Dortmund’s most influential midfielders since arriving from Manchester City, earning praise for his athleticism, composure in possession and ability to contribute at both ends of the pitch.
Capable of operating as a defensive midfielder, box-to-box player or in a more advanced role, his versatility has reportedly attracted attention from several of Europe’s leading clubs.
Chelsea are believed to be considering further additions to their midfield despite already possessing significant depth in the position. Reports suggest the London club view Nmecha as a player capable of adding physicality and tactical flexibility to their squad as they continue building for the future.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are also said to be exploring midfield reinforcements as part of their summer recruitment plans. The club has been linked with several central midfielders, with Nmecha reportedly featuring among a shortlist of potential targets should opportunities arise during the transfer window.
Dortmund’s reported €100 million valuation reflects both the player’s growing importance to the squad and the current market for elite midfield talent. The German club have developed a reputation for driving hard bargains when selling key players and are expected to maintain their stance unless an exceptional offer is received.
Neither CHELSEA, Manchester United nor Borussia Dortmund has publicly commented on the speculation, while Nmecha has remained focused on his football and has not addressed the reports linking him with a return to the Premier League.
As things stand, the transfer rumours remain at an exploratory stage, with no indication that negotiations have begun.
However, with both English clubs continuing to assess their options, Nmecha’s future is likely to remain a major talking point as the summer transfer window unfolds.
