It is expected that Nmecha will sign a five-year contract with Borussia Dortmund. As stipulated in the terms of the agreement, Nmecha will remain at Borussia Dortmund until 2028.
The official announcement of the transfer is anticipated before the Borussia Dortmund players reconvene for pre-season training next week.
Nmecha is set to join the club as a replacement for Jude Bellingham, who departed for Real Madrid in a €103 million move.
The decision to sign Nmecha has generated controversy due to his history of posting homophobic and transphobic content on social media in recent months.
Displeased fans have voiced their concerns about the club’s interest in Nmecha, and some supporters even displayed a protest banner outside the club’s offices last week.
Despite the backlash, the club’s leadership has chosen to proceed with the transfer of Nmecha.
CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke defended Borussia Dortmund’s decision, stating that the 22-year-old midfielder’s behavior will not cause issues within the dressing room.
Felix Nmecha joined Wolfsburg from Manchester City in 2021 and has since made 50 appearances for the club.
His performances caught the attention of the national team, leading to his call-up to the Germany squad in March.
The acquisition of Nmecha represents Borussia Dortmund’s commitment to reinforcing their midfield options.
