Nmeka’s situation is said to be delicate following his recent move to an England-based agency, a development that has inevitably fueled speculation about a possible move to the Premier League.
Felix Nmeka is a key asset for Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund acquired Nmeka from Wolfsburg in 2023 as part of a long-term midfield rebuild.
Since then, the German international has developed into a physically dominant and tactically versatile presence in the center of the park.
Functioning as both a defensive No. 6 and a box-to-box No. 8, Nmecha combines size, athleticism, and progressive ball-running.

Chelsea and Man United are showing growing interest
Chelsea and Man United are both thought to be closely monitoring developments.
United, in particular, are planning to strengthen their midfield in light of possible departures, while Chelsea continue to rebuild their squad with young, developing players.
Dortmund could also make offers for winger Karim Adeyemi and striker Selhou Ghirassy as part of their rebuilding strategy.
By generating significant funds from multiple departures, BVB could refresh key areas of the squad.
Nmeka’s future depends on whether suitors Chelsea and Man United meet Dortmund’s asking price of 70 million euros in this case.
Chelsea could make a surprise transfer decision as club target signing, according to reports
