Newcastle United are lining up a club-record bid for Borussia Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha as the club seek a replacement for Bruno Guimaraes.Guimaraes is closing in on a £75m transfer to Arsenal after the Newcastle captain requested to leave St James’ Park for North London.Newcastle are now seeking a replacement for the 28-year-old, with Nmecha top of their list. The Germany international shone despite his nation’s early exit at the 2026 World Cup and is open to a transfer to the Premier League.According to L’Equipe, Newcastle have started talks with Borussia Dortmund to strike a deal, though the German side value Nmecha at €100m (£85.7m). That fee would represent a club-record deal for the Magpies, eclipsing the £69m paid to sign Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart last summer.The sale of Guimaraes will mean Newcastle have generated around £236.5m from the departure of the midfielder, Sandro Tonali, and Anthony Gordon this summer. It follows the £125m British record sale of Alexander Isak to Liverpool 12 months ago.Follow the Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | TikTokThe post Newcastle plot £85m Nmecha bid as Guimaraes replacement appeared first on The Football Faithful.
