Newcastle are still exploring alternatives should Guimarães leave St James’ Park. Nmecha has emerged as a clear target for the central midfield role, though *L’Équipe* does not mention any official bid or direct talks with Dortmund.

The Magpies are said to be aware of Dortmund’s stance. Nmecha is under contract until 2030 after signing an early two‑year extension in March, giving the German club a strong negotiating position.
