Nmecha, 25, has enjoyed a bright start to the World Cup in America, scoring in Germany’s opening 7-1 win over Curacao and then helping Julian Nagelsmann’s side beat Group E rivals Ivory Coast.
Germany suffered a surprise defeat to Ecuador in their final group game but still finished top of Group E to earn themselves a last-32 clash with Paraguay.
‘The more he plays like he did the other night the more expensive he’ll get,’ Neville told ITV.

‘But at the moment, we hear Manchester United are being quoted £100 million for the West Ham boy Fernandes, so they’re going to have to be looking around this tournament and parts of Europe.
‘He looked outstanding the other night, it looked like he had absolutely everything.’
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright added: ‘When you look at him he breaks lines, he gets into the box, he’s got Kimmich to come in and fill in for him.
Clubs will be able to sign Nmecha for £75.5m once that clause in his deal is activating in the summer of 2027 before it drops to £60m the following summer.
But German outlet Bild say Nmecha favours a move to Manchester United while he is also open to a return to Manchester City, where he spent over a decade as a youth player.
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have also been linked with moves for Nmecha, who made just three appearances for boyhood club Man City before being sold in 2021.
