DBasia.news – 19-year-old German striker, Karim Adeyemi is one of the hot ‘properties’ ahead of the winter transfer market (January 2022). Thanks to his performance with RB Salzurg, Adeyemi has been monitored by European clubs.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, PSG (Paris Saint-Germain), and Borussia Dortmund are monitoring Adeyemi. His talent at the age of 19 shows the maturity of his play. His position is a striker with technical playing, agile, and has a high goal instinct.
This season Adeyemi has scored 15 goals in 27 games in all competitions for Salzburg, including four in eight Champions League games. Adeyemi’s contract is still active at Salzburg until 2024.
Like Erling Haaland, Adeyemi could follow in his footsteps moving from Salzburg to Borussia Dortmund.
Marco Rose’s team is also targeting Adeyemi and that was confirmed by European football expert, Fabrizio Romano.
“Borussia Dortmund’s main target is Karim Adeyemi. There is no agreement with Salzburg yet, but BVB are at the forefront of the hunt and believe they can sign Adeyemi, they see it as a ‘priority’ signing,” said Romano.
Erling Haaland’s Departure Indications
Judging from the word ‘priority’ spoken by Romano, Dortmund could be preparing a replacement if Haaland left for another club. The reason is, like Adeyemi, Haaland is also targeted by a lot of top European clubs.
Moreover, his agent Mino Raiola is an agent who is famous for his ability to find top clubs for his clients. Haaland is currently happy at Dortmund, but the opportunity to leave is quite wide open.
“We have been thinking for two years. We have a clear idea of where Erling should go and of course we see what the market has to offer,” Raiola said of Haaland’s future.
“I would be a bad agent if I didn’t do it. We can influence the market with a player like Erling,” he explained.
If Dortmund realistically reads the market situation and finds it challenging to hold off Haaland’s departure, especially if someone offers him a high pay, it is possible for Haaland to leave and Adeyemi will be his replacement.
