Frank Buschmann is harshly critical of Karim Adeyemi and demands consequences at BVB. After the latest scandal, the future of the offensive star is more than ever up for debate.

Karim Adeyemi is increasingly the focus of criticism at Borussia Dortmund. Despite a successful end to the year for BVB, repeated negative headlines about the offensive player overshadow the sporting development – and even put his future at the club in jeopardy.

The trigger for the latest debate was Adeyemi's behavior in the Bundesliga match against Borussia Mönchengladbach. After being substituted, the national player reacted angrily and wanted to leave for the locker room early. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl intervened and subsequently fined Adeyemi. For the well-known sports commentator Frank Buschmann, a line had been crossed.

In the Sky program "Glanzparade," Buschmann clearly advocated for a separation: "I think they should part ways. I think Adeyemi should be sold this summer." He further explained: "If I were Niko Kovac, I wouldn't want to deal with it anymore." Buschmann was not only referring to the Gladbach incident. For him, this is part of a series of problems that increasingly harm the club.

He is particularly critical of the public attention surrounding the player: "When a rapper also comments via social media and it becomes a huge topic, Borussia Dortmund cannot be pleased with that."

Even beyond emotional outbursts on the field, Adeyemi recently made headlines. A penalty order for illegal possession of weapons further tarnished his image. Public criticism of the 23-year-old is correspondingly louder. Former national player Markus Babbel succinctly put it: "When he's clear-headed, he's the difference-maker at BVB. But then you also see that he often, unfortunately, has a lower league mentality."

Against this backdrop, a departure in the summer is considered a realistic scenario. Although Dortmund long contemplated a contract extension beyond 2027, these plans are now in doubt. According to media reports, the decision-makers would be open to discussions for an offer starting at around 60 million euros. Interested parties like FC Barcelona or Manchester United are reportedly still monitoring Adeyemi – but no concrete offers have been made so far.
