Off to England? Manchester United eye Karim Adeyemi | OneFootball

Karim Adeyemi is currently forced to watch from the sidelines. Due to a suspension for yellow-card accumulation and muscular problems, the 24-year-old striker missed Borussia Dortmund’s last two Bundesliga matches. Both ended in defeat for the Black and Yellows. What the future holds for the Munich-born forward in the longer term remains very much open.

As reported by the portal fussballdaten.de, Manchester United have a concrete interest in signing Adeyemi as early as next summer. Information from scouting circles also suggests that the 24-year-old favors a move to the Premier League. Since the striker’s contract expires after the 2026/27 season, the next transfer window is likely Dortmund’s last chance to secure a high transfer fee.

As the Red Devils are apparently willing to spend big on their desired target, a move does not seem unlikely. Adeyemi is said to be at the top of Man Utd’s list, as the club intends to rejuvenate its attack. The dribbling specialist’s top speed in particular has reportedly impressed those in charge in Manchester.

Rivals from the same league

The current third-placed team in the Premier League is facing competition from within its own league in the race for the BVB player. Alongside Newcastle United, Chelsea in particular are also in the mix, according to the report. The London club are even said to be one step ahead in the race for the attacker and in close contact with the player’s representatives.

Dortmund are by no means opposed to a sale, as negotiations with Adeyemi over an extension of his contract have stalled. If the eleven-time international signals a desire to leave, he will be allowed to go, the report says. The minimum acceptable fee for a transfer is said to be between €65 million and €70 million. A move to England, however, could reportedly be completed for €60 million to €65 million.

Given the dwindling length of his contract, BVB are in a weak negotiating position. Even so, if they manage to generate the stated fee, it would certainly be considered a success in Dortmund.
