BVB upbeat: Adeyemi contract extension edging closer | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is advancing contract negotiations with Karim Adeyemi. The German international is one of the most in-form players for the Black and Yellows this season and is desired by the club's management to be tied down long-term. According to Sky, the chances of an extension currently look very good.

With six goal involvements in nine competitive matches, Adeyemi is one of the key players in the offense of coach Niko Kovac. The 23-year-old has developed back into a consistent performer after challenging months, drawing the attention of top international clubs. FC Barcelona, in particular, is said to have been watching the winger for some time.

To preempt a potential poaching attempt, BVB is working internally on an early contract extension. Although the national player's current contract runs until 2027, sporting director Sebastian Kehl wants to establish clarity early on.

As reported by Sky, there have been several discussions between BVB and Adeyemi's management in recent weeks. Star agent Jorge Mendes was also in Dortmund to exchange views with Kehl and the club officials. The atmosphere is considered positive, and the relationship between Mendes and the club is seen as trustworthy.

Dortmund sees good chances that Adeyemi will stay long-term. There is currently no desire from the player's side to leave. According to Sky, the winger wants to continue his development in Dortmund and feels very comfortable in the club's environment.

"Karim has improved significantly in recent months, has become more stable, and consistently shows what he is capable of," it is said from BVB circles. The officials want to reward this positive development with a new, performance-based contract.

Adeyemi Back in Top Form – BVB Focuses on Continuity

For BVB, a contract extension would be a clear signal towards the future. Under Kovac, Adeyemi has returned to his former strength: explosive, strong in dribbling, and dangerous in front of goal. His joy of playing and efficiency in the final third increasingly remind of his best times at Red Bull Salzburg.

By extending his contract, Dortmund would not only secure a valuable performer but also send a strong message of continuity and stability.

No Desire to Transfer from the Player

According to Sky, there are currently no concrete offers or intentions to transfer. Adeyemi himself feels comfortable in Dortmund and identifies with the project. The winger also knows that BVB guarantees him a central role in his further development – an argument that weighs heavily compared to a potential transfer to an international top club.

Everything indicates that the discussions will be intensified in the coming weeks. Borussia is determined to extend the contract within this year.

The chances are good that Karim Adeyemi will remain loyal to Dortmund – securing another important piece of their sporting future long-term for the Black and Yellows.
