Liverpool are believed to be eyeing a move for Borussia Dortmund and Germany midfielder Felix Nmecha, seeing him as an alternative to Alex Scott. Price tag expected to be over £100m, as BBC reports.” But it looks as though Liverpool are eyeing possible alternatives to Scott, with a source telling Caught Offside the following regarding Dortmund midfielder Nmecha: “Liverpool know Nmecha well and admire his qualities.

While I wouldn’t expect him to be a priority target, he’s someone they’d be ready to turn to if Alex Scott proves too expensive or chooses another option.” The reports also adds that Nmecha is “open to coming back to English football after spending 12 years in Manchester City’s academy between 2007 and 2019”, and that Liverpool are “keeping a close eye on the Germany international in case they can’t get a deal done for Scott.” Could Felix Nmecha excel for Liverpool? Nmecha is an interesting target for Liverpool, with the £75.9m-rated Germany international outlining his quality at the 2026 World Cup, arguably standing out as one of the few positives for his country.

The 26-year-old has matured as a player and is now coming into his peak years, and midfield legend Lothar Matthaus has spoken highly of him, which takes some doing: “Nmecha is an outstanding player who brings many things that are needed in modern football. But if Liverpool believe he is worth around £75m, he could be a great addition, with the Reds getting his best years during the remainder of his 20s and into his early 30s.
