Manchester United may sign ex-Man City midfielder. Felix Nmecha of Wolfsburg has reportedly conducted negotiations with Manchester United over a possible €15 million transfer fee.
According to Sport1, Nmecha might be one of Erik ten Hag’s first acquisitions this summer as the Red Devils want to bolster their roster in preparation for the upcoming campaign.
This summer, Mason Mount of Chelsea has also been mentioned in connection with Manchester United, who are now looking to strengthen their midfield. However, a move this summer may be somewhat hampered by Chelsea’s assessment of the English international.
Nmecha, a German midfielder, is another player that is presently associated with the Red Devils. It is reported that Manchester United and the player’s father, who serves as both his agent and representative, have already had first discussions.
The 22-year-old midfield prodigy has prior English playing experience. He formerly worked for United’s bitter rivals Manchester City from 2019 to 2021. For City, he made three senior appearances and contributed one assist.
In the meantime, Wolfsburg is also willing to sell Nmecha this summer. According to estimates, the transfer cost will be around €15 million, which represents a great deal for Manchester United given the already inflated transfer market of today.
Nmecha played 32 times for Wolfsburg during the 2022–23 season, recording five assists in addition to three goals across all competitions.
It remains to be seen if Manchester United will be successful in signing Nmecha this summer. Borussia Dortmund, one of the top teams in the Bundesliga, is also interested in signing the German, according to BVBbuzz.
Felix Nmecha, a target for Manchester United, was praised by Niko Kovac last year:
This summer, the Red Devils’ unexpected objective has been Felix Nmecha. A move to Old Trafford is the subject of discussions with the player’s father. Nmecha (22) is one of the best prospects in the Bundesliga, and a few elite teams took notice of him after his success in the 2022–23 season.
Nmecha received accolades from his head coach Niko Kovac for one of the best performances from last season, describing him as the best player on the pitch. The German midfielder scored two magnificent goals as his team thrashed Bochum 4-0 in the Bundesliga at the Volkswagen Arena in October.
When discussing the United target mentioned by Bullinews, Kovac stated: “He has gotten stronger physically. He never managed to settle into a rhythm before. He played in a wide variety of positions. Now that he’s playing in midfield, his technical prowess is evident.”
The German midfielder assisted Wolfsburg in advancing to the Bundesliga’s eighth-place finish.
