Manchester United are eyeing a move to sign Borussia Dortmund star Felix Nmecha as a replacement for Casemiro this summer, according to Fussball Daten.
The Red Devils are planning a major midfield overhaul this summer after it was revealed that the Brazil superstar will leave at the end of his contract when the season ends, while there are also question marks over the futures of both Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes.
The club have been linked with several midfielders in the Premier League, with Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson understood to be the top target, but it’s likely that more than one midfielder joins, and now they have identified the Bundesliga star as a potential option.
Dortmund Want Up to £48m for Nmecha
Nmecha, who has been described as ‘insane’, has become a key player for Borussia Dortmund in recent seasons, with his technical and physical attributes meaning he can hang with the best midfielders around.
However, the club need financial stability and that has opened the door for clubs to potentially make an offer that could tempt them to sell, with several top English clubs said to be keeping a close eye on his situation.
Dortmund are reportedly open to a sale for between €45m-55m (£39m-48m), and they feel that his ‘homegrown’ status in the Premier League, having come through the academy at Manchester City, makes him worth at least that to English sides looking to bolster their squads.
Man Utd Want Nmecha to Replace Casemiro
The report states that Man Utd are one of the clubs interested, as they search for a powerful midfielder to replace Casemiro. It’s believed that club chiefs see Nmecha as a ‘strategic reinforcement’ for their squad, and at the prices mooted it’s likely that he would be a signing who comes in alongside a more marquee name.
Nmecha currently earns around €5m-per-year in Germany (£83,000-a-week), but a move to England could see him almost double his wages to around €9m-per-year (£150,000-a-week).
There is expected to be a bidding war in the summer for his services, and United are likely to be right in the mix.
