RB Leipzig are reportedly “resigned” to selling Yan Diomande this summer, and Borussia Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha has become the latest name linked with Liverpool.

From Germany: Liverpool ‘made inquiries’ for Felix Nmecha

Dortmund midfielder Nmecha has started and performed well in both of Germany’s opening World Cup wins, against Curacao and the Ivory Coast.

Of course, his showings on the world stage will be of little significance to a club tracking the player over a long period, though.

According to German outlet Sport Bild, Liverpool, Man City and Man United “have all made inquiries about him.”

And they aren’t the only ones said to be considering the 25-year-old.

Reporter Maximilian Wessing wrote: “Real Madrid has him in its sights, too, as does FC Bayern.

“Director of Sport Max Eberl recently contacted the player’s camp to express that Nmecha is considered a highly interesting prospect.”

While Bayern may consider him a “highly interesting prospect,” it could be an English club that steps in to take Nmecha because he would count as homegrown, having previously been a part of Man City‘s youth setup.

Bild also reported: “Nmecha, who extended his contract until 2030 last March, has a release clause in his deal, though it does not come into effect until the summer of 2027.

“At that point, the former Wolfsburg player would be available for a fixed fee in the region of €80 million (£69m); a year later, in 2028, the figure would drop to around €70 million (£60m).”
