VISIT THE TRANSFER HUB MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES Felix Nmecha on Man City’s radar five years after leavingHamburg-born Nmecha spent 14 years at City between 2007 and 2021, and made three appearances for their senior side before being released and joining Wolfsburg.He made the move to Dortmund in 2023 and has since gone on to play over 100 times for the club, with City now alert to his potential availability this summer.Speaking on the Transfer Insider podcast, I explained: “It’s a bit of a surprise one, this one, that City are considering a move to bring Nmecha back to the club.
He’s really flourished over in the Bundesliga and has really impressed at Borussia Dortmund this season as a box-to-box midfielder. “I’m sure he’s one that City are looking at because we do expect them, maybe, to make midfield reinforcements, especially if Bernardo Silva does leave, and obviously there is ongoing speculation about Rodri’s future.“Nmecha is a top player.
It could be a cheaper alternative to some of the other targets that City are looking at, (such as) Elliot Anderson.“Dortmund are reluctant to lose Nmecha. Talks are ongoing with him over a new contract, but look, if a big money offer comes in, we know that Dortmund are open to selling players at the right price.”Matheus Nunes to move back into midfield as City eye Wesley moveMan City will be assessing their options in midfield ahead of next season, with Nunes potentially set to move back into the middle after filling in at right-back this term.He was initially signed as a midfielder from Wolves, but has made the majority of his 39 appearances so far in 2025-26 on the right of Pep Guardiola’s back four.Football Insider recently revealed that Man City are interested in Roma’s Wesley, who has been dubbed “the next Cafu” for his impressive right-back performances in Serie A this season.While numerous midfielders are on the Citizens’ radar ahead of the summer, one possible solution to any problems that may arise could be to sign the Brazilian and push Nunes back into his natural position.
