If you take a very close look at the current transfer rumors, you'll notice that there could be a surprising player swap involving two German World Cup players. Between Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle United, to be precise. Premier League versus Bundesliga, so to speak.
Specifically, the current reports are about strong interest from the Premier League club in Felix Nmecha. The German international, who has recently developed into a key player for last season's runners-up and for the DFB team, has apparently made quite an impression.

According to information from 'Sky Sport', the Magpies have already held talks with Nmecha and are now reportedly planning to submit an offer to BVB as well.
Actually, the club does not want to let the midfield star go. Sporting director Ole Book considers that highly unlikely, but also admits: "Of course, there can always theoretically be astronomical sums."
And that is exactly the kind of astronomical offer that could soon be on the table. Dortmund are said to be willing to talk starting at €100 million, while Newcastle currently have plenty of money (thanks to the departures of Tonali and Gordon) and urgently need reinforcements in central midfield because of Guimaraes' exit.
As for someone who does not play in central midfield but up front, the Magpies apparently would not be quite so upset if he were to leave the club: Germany striker Nick Woltemade.
As reported by 'Focus Online', the 24-year-old is likely to leave the club again after just one—admittedly rather mixed—year.
Alongside several top Premier League clubs, Borussia Dortmund are also said to have joined the list of interested parties. However, only on the condition that Guirassy still leaves the Bundesliga club this summer. The reason is that BVB quite simply probably do not have the money otherwise.

On the other hand, if they do receive the huge fee for Nmecha, then at least in theory there would be enough cash available, and it could lead to a spectacular club swap involving the two German internationals.
What do you think? This probably wouldn't really be a win-win, would it? Feel free to write it in the comments!
