Felix Nmecha, who has recently been linked with FC Barcelona, extended his contract in Dortmund until 2030 in March. The contract included an exit clause that comes into effect from 2027, setting a fixed transfer fee of approximately 80 million euros. That fee would be 70 million euros from 2028. This summer, BVB can negotiate the transfer fee freely. Figures exceeding 100 million euros are being mentioned, and the Black-and-Yellows will probably not negotiate for approaches below that amount. According to a tabloid, Nmecha is said not to rule out a departure by the end of August, but this would require an absolute top offer.

According to TEAMtalk, Real Madrid and Barcelona are admirers of the 25-year-old German central midfielder Felix Nmecha. TEAMtalk also states that both clubs have been made aware of his situation and are assessing midfield reinforcements. The player is reportedly open to leaving Borussia Dortmund, and intermediaries are exploring potential destinations for him. Nmecha signed a new four-year contract in March, but sources have informed TEAMtalk that his future is not certain. Those working on a potential move have indicated to interested clubs that a deal could be possible for approximately £52 million. A return to England is considered a realistic option, and Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and his former club Manchester City have all been approached regarding his situation. It is believed that those representing Nmecha feel there is a market for him this summer and that interest from England and Spain could become more concrete. Nmecha joined Dortmund in July 2023. He has 9 caps and 2 goals for Germany and recorded 2 goals and 3 assists in 29 Bundesliga appearances in the 2025/2026 season. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €50.00m. Reports from June 2026 suggest that Borussia Dortmund have set an asking price of up to €120 million. This follows reports of a €70 million price tag in March 2026. The fee paid for his transfer in 2023 was €30 million.
