BVB aim to keep Adeyemi until 2030, release clause key? | OneFootball

During the cup victory on Tuesday evening at Eintracht Frankfurt, Karim Adeyemi had the first chance of the match in the sixth minute and continued to show effort afterwards, but remained ineffective and watched the victorious penalty shootout from the sidelines after being substituted in the 77th minute. Nevertheless, Borussia Dortmund is very interested in tying the 23-year-old to the club for the long term. However, the negotiations are still far from straightforward.

Jorge Mendes is personally at the negotiating table for Adeyemi. Unlike with other clients, the star agent does not delegate Adeyemi’s negotiations to his staff, but instead conducts the talks with BVB and sporting director Sebastian Kehl himself. On the one hand, this demonstrates the high regard for Adeyemi, but on the other hand, it also indicates that Mendes expects a deal of significant financial volume.

According to information from “Sport Bild,” BVB has already made its position clear and expressed the desire for a long-term collaboration until at least 2030 or even 2031. Whether Mendes and Adeyemi will give the green light likely depends not only on salary and potential bonuses, but probably also on a release clause.

Extension without a release clause excluded?

In Dortmund, they are generally not fans of such agreements, which have only been accepted in exceptional cases in the past, such as with Erling Haaland or currently with Serhou Guirassy—if a deal would otherwise not be possible or only with other concessions. However, such a scenario could arise with Adeyemi, who is, of course, aware of his increased market value in recent months and the interest from renowned foreign clubs.

According to “Sport Bild,” an extension of Adeyemi’s contract at BVB without a release clause is practically out of the question. And since Mendes is known as a tough negotiator, Borussia will probably have to bite the bullet if Adeyemi is to wear the black and yellow jersey for the long term.
