The German international recently extended his contract with Dortmund until June 2030 and is viewed as a key player under head coach Niko Kovač.

Manchester United has shown consistent interest and has reportedly reached out to evaluate options ahead of the winter transfer window. Meanwhile, Liverpool is also looking at Nmecha as a potential alternative should their pursuit of Bournemouth’s Alex Scott not pan out. Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are among other clubs that have been tracking the midfielder, along with Newcastle United, Manchester City, and Arsenal over the past year.
Nmecha's appeal is strengthened by his background; he was born in Hamburg and spent over ten years in the Manchester City academy before making his mark in the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg and Dortmund. His performances for club and country highlight his versatility and energy as a central midfielder, capable of making contributions in both attacking and defensive roles.
Dortmund’s position on Nmecha remains firm, with no active release clause available in January. Sources indicate an €80 million (£67.4 million / $87.9 million) clause is set to activate only in the summer of 2027. The club’s current valuation is believed to exceed this, often cited in the €90-100 million range (up to £84.2 million / $112.1 million).
Dortmund’s sporting director, Ole Book, has downplayed the likelihood of Nmecha's departure, reiterating that a sale is unlikely. Given his long-term contract and regular starting position, the club is not under pressure to entertain mid-season offers. While interest in Nmecha will persist, any realistic transfer is more likely to occur at the end of the season rather than in the immediate future. For now, the 26-year-old is set to stay at Signal Iduna Park as he aims to help Dortmund compete across multiple tournaments.
