Another interested party

There had recently been rumors about Karim Adeyemi (23) that the BVB attacker had already decided to leave Dortmund. Some media outlets apparently went overboard and later backtracked. Several clubs that are now being named as possible interested parties for the national player at least indicate that consultant Jorge Mendes (Gestifute agency) is exploring the market for Adeyemi. Lately it’s about Inter Milan. There is also speculation as to whether the current turmoil surrounding the penalty order for the Borussian could have an impact on the decision of a potential new employer. On Wednesday, Adeyemi apologized for the incident.

According to the “Picture“-Newspaper, BVB denied when asked that Adeyemi had approached the club management with a decision to change. The paper had recently reported on a first exchange of agent Mendes with Manchester United. There is also said to have been one with Inter Milan. However, it cannot yet be assumed that the Italians are specifically interested. The Serie A club is examining possible scenarios and monitoring the situation, which currently also includes Adeyemi’s anger over a penalty order for violating the Weapons law should be included.
Adeyemi apologizes after penalty order
Shortly before the important World Cup qualifier, it became known that the Hagen public prosecutor had applied for a criminal order against Adeyemi on charges of possessing prohibited items under the Weapons Act. The penalty order with a fixed fine of 60 daily rates had already become final on October 30th, as senior public prosecutor Michael Burggräf announced. On Wednesday, Adeyemi publicly apologized to BVB and the national team.
“It’s not easy for me to talk about it. At the beginning of 2024, out of carelessness and without really thinking about what I was doing, I ordered a so-called ‘mystery box’ on the Internet. It also contained items that are not permitted under weapons law. Many months later, the package was delivered and it ended up unopened at the police,” Adeyemi explained on Instagram.
Adeyemi said he had made a “huge mistake” “that I am very sorry for, that cost me a lot and that I deeply regret.” “I know that I am in the public eye and have a role model function. I haven’t lived up to that. That’s exactly why it hurts me even more that I acted so carelessly.” He now has to get involved in a social project in Dortmund’s Nordstadt in consultation with BVB and the DFB and will soon complete joint training sessions with children. BVB managing director Lars Ricken and DFB sports director Rudi Völler have agreed on this.
In my opinion, the 3-5-2 system that Chivu usually plays suits Adeyemi best. That’s why I could definitely imagine that Inter would be interested in Adeyemi. At the same time, Inter also have Martinez, Thuram, Bonny and Esposito. In my opinion, an Adeyemi change only makes sense if one of this quartet should change. …
