Man City are “very interested” in bringing Felix Nmecha back to the club, according to Sky Sports Germany reporter Patrick Berger.
Nmecha left the Cityzens for Wolfsburg on a free transfer in 2021 before he moved to Borussia Dortmund for €30m two years later.
The 25-year-old made just three senior appearances during his time at the Etihad, and despite having become a fully-fledged German international since leaving City, fans on X are split on whether he should be re-signed:
Bring him home

We don’t need him

Been following the Bundesliga this year and he’s been their best midfielder in the league shown incredible improvement this season

Bring back our academy player at such a price?
— Lucas Weng (@Wengzc07) March 2, 2026
I doubt this will happen. How many times have we re signed an academy player we’ve sold? None

Never in a million years is this true

2 other Premier League clubs are keen on Nmecha
Before the links to City emerged, it was reported by other sources in Germany last week that Manchester United and Chelsea were interested in the player as well.
It was suggested that Dortmund would hold out for as much as €70m (£61m), which seems like an excessive asking price. The Bundesliga side are, however, hoping to keep hold of the midfielder by tying him down to a new contract. His current one expires in 2028.
Man City are set to overhaul their midfield
With Bernardo Silva currently expected to leave when his contract expires at the end of June, and doubts over the futures of both Rodri and Mateo Kovacic, there is scope for recruiting more options in the middle of the park. Buy a Rodri fully articulated toy from Debenhams here.
In addition to Nmecha, the club are believed to be keen on purchasing Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson.
