Dortmund Opens Contract Talks With Felix Nmecha as Club Signals Major Pay Rise

His rise to first-choice status has sharpened Dortmund's focus on long‑term retention.

Overview

  • Initial negotiations began in the week before the 2–2 draw in Leipzig, with Nmecha’s new agency The Talent Table meeting Dortmund executives, according to Sport Bild.
  • The club has indicated it is prepared to lift his salary from about €5 million to roughly €7–8 million per year to place him among its top earners, per the reporting.
  • Nmecha’s representatives say they respect his remaining term and express gratitude to Dortmund, adding that any future decisions will be handled jointly and respectfully with the club.
  • The 25-year-old is under contract until 2028 after a €30 million move from Wolfsburg in 2023 and has become a regular starter this season with five goal contributions in 23 Bundesliga appearances.
  • Premier League interest is reported as a factor given his English background, while Dortmund weighs broader contract timelines for key players into 2027–2028.
