Newcastle United are on the hunt for a midfielder to replace Sandro Tonali, with Felix Nmecha emerging as a top target. The Magpies face a tough summer transfer window, with Anthony Gordon's exit set to be just the first of a few key moves away from the club.
What's Happening with Tonali?
Newcastle United are under pressure to keep their best stars, with Sandro Tonali being heavily linked with a move to the likes of Tottenham, Manchester United, and Arsenal. The Italian international isn't the only possible exit, as Bruno Guimaraes has also been linked with a transfer elsewhere, as Arsenal have made an offer to sign the Brazilian.
Who is Felix Nmecha?
Felix Nmecha is a 25-year-old midfielder who has impressed in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund, as well as in the World Cup with Germany. He has a release clause in his deal worth £73.5 million, though that doesn't come into effect until next summer.
Can Newcastle Sign Nmecha?
Newcastle United will face competition from Manchester United and Liverpool for Nmecha's signature. However, the Magpies are described as "long-term admirers" of the midfielder, and a deal could be negotiated for lower than his release clause price.
