Felix Nmecha has been linked with a possible exit from Borussia Dortmund.

The 25-year-old central midfielder has performed quite well for the German side, and he has also impressed for his country at the World Cup.

Manchester United are keen to sign the player in the January transfer window. According to a report from FussballDaten, they have already made contact at club level and are ready to increase their efforts ahead of the 2027 winter transfer window.

They are the most persistent club in the race to sign the midfielder, and they have already officially approached Borussia Dortmund over a potential transfer. The player could cost around €100 million, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United are willing to meet that valuation.

They will also have to deal with competition from Manchester City and Newcastle United.

Manchester United could represent an interesting opportunity for him. However, the Red Devils have already invested in three central midfielders this summer. Finding a place for Nmecha in the starting line-up could be difficult. Also, instead of spending €100 million on another central midfielder, they should look to improve their attacking unit. They also need greater depth at full-back.

The chance to move to England will be exciting for Nmecha. The former Manchester City academy graduate is likely to feel he has unfinished business in the Premier League, and he will want to prove himself in English football.

It remains to be seen whether the German club are willing to approve the departure of a key player in January. If any club decides to pay €100 million for the Germany international, Dortmund could be tempted to cash in.
