Manchester United and Chelsea learn Felix Nmecha asking price amid transfer interest
Borussia Dortmund are willing to sell Manchester United and Chelsea target Felix Nmecha this summer, but he will not be cheap.
The 25-year-old has become a key part of the Dortmund midfield since his move from Wolfsburg in 2023.
The Germany international has played in all 35 games Dortmund have played this season, scoring five goals.
Nmecha was born in Hamburg but came through the Manchester City academy, where he moved to as a schoolboy.
He made three appearances for Manchester City, turning out in the League Cup, Champions League and FA Cup.
The youngster was released in 2021 and joined Wolfsburg, making the switch to Dortmund two years later.
Due to Nmecha growing up in England he has represented both the Three Lions and Germany through the age ranges, but has chosen to play for the country of his birth at senior level.

Nmecha is on course to have his most prolific season, in terms of appearances and goals, but it could be his last at Dortmund.
German publication Bild report that there is interest in him from both Manchester United and Chelsea, with the Premier League giants considering summer bids.
Dortmund have slapped an asking price of €70m (£61m) on Nmecha, which would see them more than doubling what they spent on him three years ago.
His contract runs until 2028, so this summer is likely to be the last in which Dortmund can command such a hefty fee for the former Manchester City talent.
Earlier this season, Dortmund CEO Lars Ricken talked up how much the club want to keep Nmecha for years to come.

‘Felix is part of our very stable spine,’ Ricken told SportsBild. ‘Due to his age and the length of his contract, he is one of the players who will be very important for us in the coming years.
‘You can see how important he already is for us – and hopefully his time with us will be long.’
Nmecha’s older brother, Lukas, is already playing in the Premier League with Leeds United, scoring seven goals this season in all competitions.
