Next move for Karim Adeyemi: talks held with Inter Milan too | OneFootball

In recent days, Karim Adeyemi has been a major topic, especially around the German national team's qualification for the 2026 World Cup. However, not for sporting reasons, as the Borussia Dortmund player was suspended in Luxembourg (2:0) and then remained on the bench against Slovakia (6:0). Back at BVB, Adeyemi is likely hoping that the focus will shift away from the penalty order for illegal possession of weapons and back to the field.

This, however, will not be easy, as aside from the legal conflict, there is also Adeyemi's offensive future, which could potentially distract from the essentials. Earlier this week, the internationally well-connected transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri reported that Adeyemi has already expressed a desire to leave during talks with BVB. Now, "Bild" also reports that an extension of his current contract, which runs until 2027 in Dortmund, seems very distant.

BVB not yet informed about a desire to transfer

BVB emphasized upon inquiry by "Bild" that Adeyemi has not yet informed the club of any decision, but signs are increasing that the 23-year-old forward wants to take the next step in one of the upcoming transfer periods, possibly even in winter.

Regardless of the situation that Adeyemi wants to include a release clause in the new contract in case of an extension, BVB is only willing to agree to such a concession with a very high fixed sum in the range of 80 million euros. Adeyemi, through his agent Jorge Mendes, is also exploring other options. There have recently been talks with both Manchester United and FC Arsenal.

According to "Bild," there was also an exchange with Inter Milan. The Italian top club is definitely keeping an eye on Adeyemi and considering a potential signing for the summer of 2026.
