Title with BVB? Adeyemi reveals his ambitious goal | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund and Karim Adeyemi are aiming for ambitious goals this season. The BVB star has now also commented on a possible contract extension with the Black and Yellows.

Karim Adeyemi has set high goals at BVB: The 23-year-old is aiming for nothing less than the German championship. "For us, for the players from BVB, it is of course important to get a consistency here, to play good games and to play for the championship in the end. That is our goal. It is not always easy, but we have set these goals - as players, but also as a team," Adeyemi recently explained during a press talk with the German national team.

After the last season, in which BVB was only able to secure the Champions League places in the final spurt, more stability is now to be established. Sporting Director Lars Ricken also gave a clear target, but at the same time warned against overconfidence: "After 25 points behind Bayern and 12 behind Leverkusen last season, we have to stay grounded. Our goal is to establish ourselves in the leading group from the start."

Is Adeyemi extending at BVB? Contract talks are ongoing

Adeyemi, who is taking on increasing responsibility, feels comfortable at the club. "The most important thing is simply that I show my performance on the pitch," he said about the ongoing contract talks. His current contract runs until 2027, an extension is being discussed. Adeyemi recently switched to the agency of Jorge Mendes, who will represent him in the future.

In addition to his club ambitions, Adeyemi also has the upcoming World Cup in view. Already in 2022 he was part of the DFB squad in Qatar, but did not get to play. Now he wants to show in the first World Cup qualifying games that he belongs to the national team. "We got one thing from the coach, and that is to play dominantly," said the BVB star. He is supposed to provide important impulses as a fast counter player from the bench. "For such a big nation, it's easily said that you're at the World Cup. We have a few games ahead of us that we first have to win. But we are ready for this task."

With Adeyemi, Waldemar Anton and Pascal Groß, currently three BVB players are in the DFB squad for the qualifying games against Slovakia and Northern Ireland.
