Mainz 05's coach, Bo Henriksen, expressed his wish scenario for Paul Nebel, hoping he would play more and develop further for another year at Mainz before being sold for 80 million. Henriksen mentioned that if Nebel played for a more prominent club like Stuttgart or Dortmund, he could be sold for 100 million.

Paul Nebel, an offensive dribbler who had a breakthrough Bundesliga season with Mainz, is being courted by the Ireland national team for a potential association switch due to his eligibility to play for Ireland. Despite his strong season, he was not immediately called up to the German national team, and the Irish have been pursuing him for years. Julian Nagelsmann has considered him for the German national team due to his strong performances. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 24 million euros.
