Manchester United-linked Felix Nmecha can be bought out of his Borussia Dortmund contract for £73.5 million this summer.
That’s according to Daily Mail journalist Craig Hope, who also adds that a ‘deal could be negotiated at a lower price’.
BVB star Felix Nmecha garners Premier League interest
It comes amid new interest from Newcastle United, after they have joined the Red Devils in pursuit of Nmecha, 25, this transfer window.
His stellar World Cup showings for Germany have seemingly caught the eyes of club chiefs, meaning the two sides may well go head-to-head for his signature in the coming months.
With Germany now confirmed to have made the knockouts, any move may have to wait until the midfielder has concluded his international duties.

That being said, Elliot Anderson, who was United’s first-choice target heading into the summer, has agreed his switch to Manchester City while in England camp.
He has requested to undergo his medical ahead of the Three Lions’ final group-stage fixture against Panama this evening.
Thankfully for INEOS, they had already conceded several weeks ago that Anderson was City-bound, hence turning their attention to alternatives, such as Nmecha.
United mulling over Nmecha approach
It remains to be seen if they will look to up the ante in the race for his signature after learning of Newcastle’s interest.
Last year, Benjamin Sesko snubbed the Magpies in favour of joining United, despite the Tyneside outfit being able to offer Champions League football.

It’s also unclear which suitor Nmecha himself would prefer, or whether he’d even be open to leaving the Westfalenstadion just three years after joining from VfL Wolfsburg.
