Premier League
Liverpool has included Felix Nmecha, a 26-year-old German midfielder from Borussia Dortmund, among its alternatives to strengthen the midfield in the upcoming winter transfer market. According to CaughtOffside, the English club is considering his signing due to the £115 million that Bournemouth could demand for Alex Scott, their main target. A proposal of €90 million could initiate negotiations with the German team.
The operation is still in the study phase, but the player would be willing to return to England. The main obstacle is the position of Borussia Dortmund, which currently does not contemplate his sale after extending his contract until June 2030.
Liverpool finds in Felix Nmecha a more economical alternative
Liverpool has been evaluating different options for weeks to reinforce their midfield. The priority is Alex Scott, a 23-year-old English player who has attracted interest from several important Premier League teams.
However, the economic demands of Bournemouth significantly complicate his signing. The English club could request between £110 and £115 million, an amount that has led Liverpool's sports management to explore alternatives.
In this scenario, Felix Nmecha emerges, whose signing would cost approximately £76 million, equivalent to about €90 million. The difference compared to Scott's maximum valuation would be around £39 million.
The German midfielder possesses characteristics that interest the coaching staff of Andoni Iraola. He can play as a central midfielder or winger, excels in ball recovery, and offers physical ability to compete in a position where Liverpool aims to increase its options.
During the first matchdays of the 2026/2027 Bundesliga, Nmecha has participated in five games, four of them as a starter. His statistics include 60% of duels won and an average of 1.8 tackles per match.

Borussia Dortmund does not want to negotiate for Felix Nmecha
Although Liverpool is studying his signing, Borussia Dortmund maintains a position contrary to letting go of the German international.
The club renewed Nmecha in March 2026, extending his contract until June 2030. This decision strengthened their negotiating position and eliminated any urgency to accept offers during the upcoming transfer windows.
In fact, Ole Book, Dortmund's sporting director, had practically ruled out his departure during the past summer. However, according to CaughtOffside, an offer close to €90 million could force the Germans to consider the operation.
The player also wouldn't mind returning to English football. Nmecha spent a good part of his training in the youth ranks of Manchester City, a club with which he played three official matches with the first team.
His experience in England would facilitate a potential adaptation to the Premier League, although there is currently no evidence of a formal offer presented by Liverpool.
Chelsea also complicates Liverpool's plans
Liverpool's search for midfielders is also influenced by the competition from Chelsea, which remains interested in Alex Scott.
The London club tried to sign the Bournemouth player last summer and is still monitoring his contractual situation. Scott's contract runs until 2028, giving his club enough time to negotiate.
In addition to Nmecha, Liverpool is considering other options. Among them is Lamine Camara, a Senegalese midfielder from AS Monaco, who is also on the radar of several English teams.
The sports management will have to determine which operation offers better economic and sporting conditions before making a proposal.
The next step will depend on Bournemouth's stance during negotiations for Scott. If they maintain their demands close to £115 million, Liverpool could intensify contacts for Nmecha by January 2027. However, Dortmund remains intent on keeping the German, so any progress will depend on an offer capable of altering that position.
