BVB take action: Adeyemi handed hefty fine | OneFootball

Karim Adeyemi has sidelined himself with his outburst against Gladbach. Borussia Dortmund responds with a hefty fine and is putting future talks on hold for the time being.

After the scandal in the Bundesliga match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Karim Adeyemi is facing noticeable consequences. According to Bild, the Borussia Dortmund forward has been hit with a significant fine after internal discussions.

The trigger was Adeyemi’s behavior following his substitution in the 60th minute during the 2-0 win over Gladbach. The 23-year-old had previously been involved in several altercations with opponents and had also clashed with referee Sven Jablonski. After being substituted, Adeyemi angrily tried to head straight for the locker room, which sporting director Sebastian Kehl immediately prevented.

According to Bild, a crisis meeting with the sporting management took place shortly after the team arrived at their training camp in Marbella, Spain. The penalty was set during this meeting: a fine in the high five-figure range. The tabloid mentions a sum of around 90,000 euros, which is to be deducted directly from the national player’s monthly salary. Given a rumored annual salary of around six million euros, the club is sending a clear message.

Contract talks between BVB and Adeyemi put on hold for now

Coach Niko Kovac had already announced plans to address the incident internally. “We haven’t done that yet. After the game, everyone just went their separate ways,” the coach explained, announcing that personal talks would follow.

At the same time, Kovac tried to strike a conciliatory tone. “I know Karim, he’s a good kid at heart. He knows he made a mistake,” said the BVB coach, expressing his expectation that Adeyemi would correct his behavior accordingly.

According to Bild, however, the recent incidents are also having sporting and political repercussions. Talks about a possible contract extension are said to be on hold for now, even though Adeyemi’s current contract runs until 2027.

Speculation about a possible departure also continues unabated. Reportedly, Borussia Dortmund would demand a transfer fee of at least 60 million euros in the event of concrete inquiries. In sporting terms, Adeyemi has scored six goals and provided three assists in 22 competitive matches so far this season.
