“Liverpool Eye Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi Amid Uncertainty Over Salah and Diaz”
According to a report from Sky Sports Germany, Liverpool is among several top clubs interested in signing Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi.
The Reds have yet to make any new signings in this summer’s transfer window, despite the imminent start of pre-season. Arne Slot is eager to address the squad issues he inherited from Jurgen Klopp.
Due to the uncertain futures of Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz, Liverpool might enter the transfer market for a new winger. Salah is in the final year of his contract, and there have been no renewal talks. Although Liverpool has ruled out cashing in on the Egyptian star, Saudi Arabian clubs remain interested in his situation.
Diaz has attracted interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain for several months. Liverpool is open to listening to offers for the 27-year-old, who is currently playing for Colombia in the Copa America in the United States. This interest may have led Liverpool to consider Karim Adeyemi.
The report states that even before Borussia Dortmund’s Champions League final against Real Madrid last season, Adeyemi was one of the players the club might sell this summer due to his inconsistent performances over the past 15-18 months. Dortmund is ready to consider offers over €30 million for the 22-year-old.
Liverpool has shown interest in Adeyemi but could face competition from Chelsea, AC Milan, and Juventus. Adeyemi recently parted ways with his agent, and talks are ongoing with several agencies regarding his representation, potentially opening the door for clubs to make a move.
Adeyemi is a talented player whose 2023/24 season at Dortmund did not go as expected, with five goals and two assists in 34 appearances. His potential should not be overlooked, especially since he is only 22. If Diaz is sold, Liverpool could make room for a player like Adeyemi in their squad.
