Newcastle have targeted the Borussia Dortmund midfielder amid the possible departure of Bruno or Tonali

Newcastle are continuing to strengthen their squad in the summer transfer window and are considering signing Borussia Dortmund centre-half Felix Nmechi. This is reported by the media. According to the source, the head coach of "Forties" Eddie Gau has long been a supporter of the game of the 25-year-old German. Back in 2023, the coach wanted to see Nmecha in his team, but then Newcastle bet on the transfer of Sandro Tonali from Milan. At present, the situation looks difficult. Nmechi's contract with Borussia Dortmund has a release clause of €85m (around £75.5m), while Newcastle are not prepared to pay that amount. The club hopes that the Germans will agree to lower their financial demands, otherwise it will be difficult to negotiate a transfer. At the same time, the source notes that the situation may change in the event of the sale of Sandro Tonali. Previously, Newcastle already, and Manchester City also maintains an interest in the Italian midfielder. We will remind, it was previously reported that based on the situation surrounding the Italian midfielders, Newcastle is considering the possibility of signing Bruno Guimaraes or Sandro Tonali during the summer transfer window.
