Karim Adeyemi: Man United target found guilty of illegal offence

Manchester United are keen to bolster their squad in spite of spending heavily in the summer.

Attacking options

The Red Devils forked out over £200 million on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko last window.

They have also been linked with making a move for Antoine Semenyo from AFC Bournemouth as early as the January window.

In addition, the possible sale of Joshua Zirkzee may result in United needing to bolster their attack in the not so distant future.

Karim Adeyemi interest

As a result, United have recently been linked with Borussia Dortmund’s Adeyemi.

It was reported last week that United have held talks with Portuguese super agent Jorge Mendes over a transfer for the German.

What’s more, it has been stated that United are also prepared to launch a bid for the attacking star.

Potential problems

The 23 year old has so far scored three goals in 14 appearances this season for Dortmund.

Nonetheless, he has not helped himself off the pitch with latest developments.

The Athletic report that, “Karim Adeyemi, the Borussia Dortmund and Germany forward, has been fined €450,000 (£396k; $522k) for the possession of a pair of brass knuckles and a taser.”

The article goes on to explain that, “the case, which dates back to 2024, was finalised by a district court in Hagen, in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, with the result that Adeyemi will be liable for the fine (60 daily rates of €7,500, calculated in accordance with his salary and which started on October 30), but will not face a public trial, nor be given a criminal record.”

In an official statement from his current employers, Borussia Dortmund explained, “BVB always takes criminal allegations seriously and uses them as an opportunity to discuss them with its employees while respecting confidentiality obligations.”
