Surprise rumour: Are Dortmund set for a transfer U-turn with Adeyemi? | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund might surprisingly change its plans with Karim Adeyemi. A media report suddenly suggests a possible transfer of the offensive player.

Just a few months ago, extending Karim Adeyemi's contract was considered one of Borussia Dortmund's most important future projects. However, a report from the portal Caught Offside is now creating new dynamics: According to it, the management might surprisingly reconsider their previous stance – allegedly up to a possible sale of the national player as early as winter.

The rethink is said to be triggered by several factors. In recent weeks, Adeyemi has attracted attention not through sporting highlights, but rather through off-field issues. Two emotional reactions to substitutions led to internal club sanctions, and additional incidents have affected the image of the offensive player.

Although sporting director Sebastian Kehl recently stated publicly that the situation has been resolved internally, according to Caught Offside, new evaluations of his future are apparently underway in the background. The portal cites information from advisory circles and reports that Adeyemi is no longer considered unsellable at BVB. If a club presents an offer deemed suitable by Dortmund, they would be willing to enter discussions.

Transfer poker for Adeyemi: BVB allegedly rethinks

A transfer fee of 60 to 70 million euros is mentioned as a guideline – a sum that seems realistic, especially for financially strong clubs from England. Accordingly, Manchester United and Arsenal FC are said to have already taken notice. Both clubs are reportedly closely monitoring the situation surrounding the 23-year-old.

Besides the off-field issues, sporting development also apparently plays a role. This season, Adeyemi has scored six goals and provided three assists in 22 competitive matches – solid, but not outstanding. Particularly in December, the winger had no direct goal involvement.

It is still unclear whether the speculations will actually lead to a concrete transfer. However, it seems clear: If the report is to be believed, the perspective around Karim Adeyemi has noticeably shifted. What long seemed like a planned contract extension at BVB is increasingly developing into an open personnel question – with an uncertain outcome and allegedly growing interest from abroad.
