Manchester United and Chelsea Compete for Felix Nmecha: Borussia Dortmund Set Price at IDR 1.1 Trillion

The competition to secure the signature of Borussia Dortmund midfielder, Felix Nmecha, is intensifying. Two major clubs in the English Premier League, Manchester United and Chelsea, have reportedly placed the 25-year-old player on their list of primary targets for the summer 2026 transfer window.

Manchester United is the club most strongly linked with Nmecha. The Red Devils are looking for a long-term successor to Casemiro, who is expected to leave soon.

Nmecha’s profile, with his strong physique and high work rate, is considered a good fit for United’s current midfield needs.

On the other hand, Chelsea is also closely monitoring the situation. Although they already have a large number of midfielders, The Blues’ management sees Nmecha as a significant addition to strengthen the depth of their squad in European competitions next season.

Borussia Dortmund has reportedly set a minimum price of €70 million (approximately IDR 1.17 trillion) for any club wishing to bring Nmecha out of Signal Iduna Park.

Nmecha’s performance this season has been remarkable. He has become an indispensable player in Dortmund’s midfield, with the following statistics:

For Felix Nmecha, returning to England would not be new. He is a product of the Manchester City academy before moving to Wolfsburg and eventually shining with Dortmund.

His brother, Lukas Nmecha, currently plays in England with Leeds United. Family ties and the desire to prove himself in England could be key to his move next season.

So far, neither Manchester United nor Chelsea has made an official offer, but communication with the player’s agent has reportedly begun.
