Manchester United And newcastle united Currently 'leading the charge' for Borussia Dortmund star Felix Nmecha.
BILD reports that the 25-year-old He has been in the news after 'making a name for himself' at the World Cup with Germany this summer.
Newcastle and Manchester United's interest
According to the newspaper, the midfielder remains 'at the center of attention' for several top clubs despite Germany's early exit from the competition. The Premier League is particularly keen.
Manchester United and Newcastle United are the 'leaders' on that front. Game witnesses have already reported On their interest, and how Nimecha would look to any club if they came calling this summer.
However, Dortmund will not sell cheaply. They have set a 'bottom line' for any transfer at €120m. BILD explains that, the truth of the matter is that they need the money.
The German team is short on cash after an early exit from the Champions League last season. The €20m deal for Johan Gadou has also taken a toll on their finances.
€120 million asking price
The €120m received from selling Nmecha can therefore be used to further strengthen the team. An attacking midfielder and a proper ball winner will be targeted in the number six role.
The club's sporting director is already targeting various names and is even looking to 'move up a shelf' with Nmecha money in mind. If Yann Couto is gone then the right-back could also be targeted. In short, €100m plus gives them plenty of power to strengthen significantly.
Their stance at the moment is that Felix Nmecha will not go below the €120m asking price. This is something they stand firm on, as he has a release clause of €80 million next summer. The plan is for him to be a key player this season unless someone comes along to offer a big sum.
Neither Manchester United nor Newcastle have done so yet. But there's plenty of time for that to change as summer approaches.
