Karim Adeyemi’s future at Borussia Dortmund has become a major talking point in European football, with the 23-year-old German international reportedly attracting interest from several elite clubs. Dortmund are demanding a transfer fee between €70-80 million to sanction Adeyemi’s departure, but his contract, which runs until 2027, complicates negotiations. Despite ongoing contract talks and reported tensions with manager Niko Kovac, Adeyemi has not submitted a transfer request.

Manchester United and Arsenal have emerged as the most prominent Premier League suitors, with both clubs reportedly initiating discussions with Adeyemi’s new agent, super-agent Jorge Mendes. However, according to German outlet WAZ, neither Manchester United, Arsenal, nor Inter Milan are Adeyemi’s preferred destinations. Instead, the report claims that Liverpool and Real Madrid are the two clubs that genuinely appeal to the German winger.

Neither Liverpool nor Real Madrid have made concrete approaches for Adeyemi yet, but Mendes has reportedly offered the player to Real Madrid as he canvasses Europe’s elite. This season, Adeyemi has made 14 appearances for Dortmund, scoring three goals and providing three assists, despite limited playing time under Kovac.

Adeyemi has been linked with Liverpool on and off in recent seasons, and the January transfer window is fast approaching, making his future at Signal Iduna Park increasingly uncertain. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool or Real Madrid will act on Adeyemi’s reported preferences or whether he will have to settle for one of the clubs already actively pursuing his signature. Dortmund are standing firm in contract negotiations, but if talks do not progress, a summer transfer could materialize to avoid losing him for free in the future.
