manchester united keen
They report that the 25-year-old is attracting interest from a number of top European clubs this summer. Manchester United is one of them, and they are 'stepping up' in their attempts to sign him despite his long-term contract at Dortmund.
This midfielder is increasingly in the headlines due to his excellent performance so far for Germany in the World Cup.
Manchester United is particularly keen. They are intensifying efforts to get ahead of the competition. Indeed, the head of their scouting department, Christopher Wivell, is in close contact with the 25-year-old's squad.
This could give United an advantage, which they could certainly use. Competition for Namecha is tough. Manchester City, Liverpool and Real Madrid are all keeping a close eye on his situation.
Manchester United need 'very high offer'
Sport Witness covered a report this week Explaining that he is of particular interest to English sides because of his domestic situation.
Borussia Dortmund are not interested in a sale. The midfielder only extended his deal in March. It runs through 2030 and does not include a release clause for this summer.
Club sports director Lars Ricken has also made his stance clear. "Felix is essential for us," he said in late May. Therefore a transfer will only take place if a 'very high offer' is to be made. Sky have not put a price tag on the midfielder, but it is likely to be upwards of €100m.
Thanks to that long-term contract, Dortmund are in a strong negotiating position. They need convincing, perhaps with hard cash and a deal they can't refuse. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United is willing to make this offer.
