Report – Inter Milan Quoted A Substantial €60M Price Tag For Borussia Dortmund Midfielder

Inter Milan have reportedly approached Borussia Dortmund to gather information about Felix Nmecha. According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, the German giants have immediately named their price. Felix Nmecha has enjoyed a rise to stardom since swapping Wolfsburg for Dortmund in the summer of 2023. Therefore, he has become one of Die Borussen's most influential first-team figures. Unwilling to lose another quality player this summer, the club has slapped a mammoth €60 price tag on their prized asset.

However, securing Nmecha's services could prove impossible, given Dortmund's excessive asking price. Meanwhile, Inter could also reignite their interest in Atalanta star Ederson. Like Nmecha, the Brazilian commands a premium price, with La Dea reluctant to sell him for less than €45 million. Yet, Nmecha feels like a better fit, considering his versatility allows him to cover multiple spots in the middle of the field. Indeed, he can play deep in the midfield. He is equally well-versed in taking a more advanced role. Therefore, he would perfectly fit into Cristian Chivu's system.

Report – Inter Milan Turn Attention Toward Benfica & Borussia Dortmund Stars Amid Kone & Lookman Difficulties

Inter Milan have reportedly set their sights on Benfica midfielder Florentino and Borussia Dortmund forward Felix Nmecha. According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Italian giants have expanded their search for reinforcements beyond Serie A. Despite vying for the signature of Ademola Lookman the entire summer, Inter will probably fail to sign the Atalanta star. Indeed, negotiations have broken down, forcing the Nerazzurri to look for attacking additions elsewhere. Meanwhile, Manu Kone remains a realistic target for the San Siro club.

(Photo by) Roma would ideally keep hold of the French midfielder, who enjoyed an impressive maiden season at Stadio Olimpico. However, Inter could still sign the ex-Borussia Monchengladbach ace toward the end of the summer. If they miss out on Kone's signature, they could revisit their interest in Florentino. Meanwhile, Nmecha has emerged as a backup option for last season's Serie A runners-up. With Lookman set to stay at Atalanta, Inter have inquired about the Dortmund forward. Yet, Die Borussen's €60 million asking price could deter the Nerazzurri from pursuing the 24-year-old's services.

Five athletic midfielders Manchester United could target

Manchester United want to sign an 'athletic' midfielder to fit Ruben Amorim's style this summer, but who could be on the clubs' radar? United's rebuild under Amorim is beginning to take shape. Matheus Cunha has arrived from Wolves to fill one of the specialist advanced roles, while talks are ongoing to bring in Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo to join him. A goalkeeper, centre-forward and at least one 'athletic' midfielder are also on the radar, though sales may be required to fund further business. Advertisement Manuel Ugarte, despite previous experience under Amorim, struggled during his first season in England, while an ageing Casemiro or deeper-lying Bruno Fernandes do not appear idealistic for the demands of the manager's system. We've profiled five midfielders who could fit the brief. Felix Nmecha – Borussia Dortmund Felix Nmecha has been linked with Manchester United, according to reports in Germany. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is a well-rounded talent who could help solve Amorim's build-up issues. An intelligent counter-presser, he ranks in the top 10% of midfielders in Europe for tackles won in the final third. Crucially, he's comfortable manoeuvring away from pressure in a deeper role. His take-ons per game and percentage of successful take-ons both rank in the top 15% of midfielders in Europe's top five leagues. Nmecha also has previous experience of English football, having spent time in the Manchester City academy as a teenager. Amadou Onana – Aston Villa Aston Villa's concerns with Premier League Profit and Sustainability could lead to sales this summer. Manchester United have been linked with goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, but could Amadou Onana be a better option? Advertisement The Belgium international covers space superbly, and is both an aerial presence and an excellent dribbler in possession. Last season, Onana ranked in the top 15% of Premier League midfielders for interceptions, aerial duels won and successful take-on percentage. Signed for £40m last summer, it would take a high fee to prise him from Villa Park. However, the 23-year-old has a Premier League-proven skillet that ticks plenty of boxes. Carlos Baleba – Brighton The latest top talent off the Brighton production line. Brighton have signed, nurtured and sold midfielders including Yves Bissouma and Moises Caicedo for large fees in recent seasons and Carlos Baleba looks like another set to earn the Seagulls a fortune. Advertisement The Cameroonian combines strength with expansive long distribution and an ability to carry the ball forward through lines. He ranked third in the Premier League for line-breaking carries last season. Just 21, his ceiling is high, but prising him from Brighton would be no easy feat. Douglas Luiz – Juventus Douglas Luiz left the Premier League for Juventus last summer but endured an underwhelming first season in Turin. The Brazilian failed to live up to expectations in Italy and has been linked with a return to English football. For the right price, Luiz could be a shrewd signing. He was a driving force in Aston Villa's qualification for the Champions League in 2023/24, having been named the club's Player of the Season a year earlier. Advertisement Still just 27, he will not want another season of struggle with the World Cup looming next summer. Joao Palhinha – Bayern Munich Another player whose exit from the Premier League has not worked out as anticipated. Joao Palhinha led English football's top division for tackles won in successive seasons at Fulham before earning a move to Bayern Munich in 2024. He started just six times for the German champions, who are open to offers for the midfielder this summer. Palhinha played under Ruben Amorim at Sporting Lisbon and has the physical presence that could lift the Manchester United midfield. His tenacious ball-winning and size could complement compatriot Bruno Fernandes if the duo were paired in Amorim's two-man pivot.

Svensson's goal propels Dortmund to Club World Cup knockout stage

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 25 (Reuters) - A first-half goal from Daniel Svensson secured Borussia Dortmund's place in the Club World Cup round of 16, as they claimed a 1–0 victory over South Korea's Ulsan HD on Wednesday. The German side started strongly, with Jobe Bellingham, Felix Nmecha and Karim Adeyemi posing a constant threat to Ulsan's defence and Svensson broke the deadlock in the 36th minute with a close-range strike. Ulsan goalkeeper Hyeon-Woo Jo made several impressive saves to prevent Dortmund from extending their lead, denying Serhou Guirassy's header and strikes from Pascal Gross and Yan Couto. Dortmund finished top of Group F, with Brazilian side Fluminense in second after they drew 0-0 with South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
