Market value plus in the Bundesliga update?

Karim Adeyemi clapped his hands motivated and laughed. The German international was not spoiled for the mood in front of the Champions League duel with Athletic Bilbao from the cloudy-nebelable Dortmund autumn weather. No wonder: it works at Adeyemi. The 23-year-old is one of the big winners of the convincing BVB season start.
Despite the most recently praise from the teammates and from the vicinity of Borussia Dortmund, the arrow -fast attacker remains modest. “I have now played five games quite well. But you can’t say yet, that is constant,” said Adeyemi after the 2-0 on Saturday in the Bundesliga near Mainz 05. “I definitely need more playing that run like this.”
In the last three games, ADEYEMI shone as a scorer. What he had with the ball, in one-on-one and in front of the goal, he showed again and again in the past seasons. In the past, outstanding games also regularly followed longer phases in which Adeyemi acted inconspicuously and could not call up his class. The fact that he has been working differently this season is a reason why he enjoys a completely new status with his club and BVB fans-but not the only one.
Adeyemi has learned to defend at BVB under Kovac
Under coach Niko Kovac, who attaches great importance to discipline and defending together, Adeyemi has developed enormously. The fine technician, who actually sees himself more as a “free spirit”, works much more consistently with backwards than in its early years at BVB. He seems to have understood that only together and sustainable success is possible.
“I’m talking to Karim, I think the most often. Because I am very, very convinced of his qualities. He has so much in himself,” said Kovac. “He has to understand that football not only works in one direction, but also in the other direction. I am constantly working on it.” The BVB coach added: “I see how it makes progress. As a coach, you are never satisfied, but I definitely see the right direction.”
An indication of this is also statements by ADEYEMI itself. “We have a good run now because we are very well defensively. But the trainer also expects that from us,” he said. “Maybe he is more concerned with that we all have to defend – that’s why things are going so well.” In the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund did not lose 13 games in a row across the season. Most recently, BVB also won four times in a row in the league.
If the Westphalia win on Wednesday (9 p.m./DAZN) against Athletic Bilbao, who has to do without exceptional footballers Nico Williams (23), Dortmund would also be on course in the premier class with four points after two games. At the start there was a spectacular 4: 4 at Juventus Turin.
Rumors about Barça interest to BVB attacker Adeyemi
Adeyemi also met in Italy. The important role of the Munich -born, who came from Salzburg for 30 million euros three years ago, now takes the area at the district club. The mostly well -placed outdoor striker now often gives interviews after the games, represents the team to the outside world.
First and foremost, it is of course his achievements that stand out. Again and again there are rumors about possible adhesives from abroad. FC Barcelona is said to have an eye on him with the former national coach Hansi Flick.

“Of course we will have to stretch to keep such players,” said sports director Sebastian Kehl recently in the “current sports studio” about Adeyemi, but also about other coveted Dortmund like Nico Schlotterbeck (25). ADEYEMIS Treaty at BVB still applies until 2027.
Market value plus for adeyemi in the Bundesliga update?
Many factors that could also lead to a market value plus near Adeyemi on October 14 in the upcoming intermediate update of the Bundesliga. For the most valuable BVB professional in addition to Serhou Guirassy (29), the TM users are currently calling for a small upgrade to around 53 million euros.

So “Derdiedashenne” also attests a “strong development” – and thinks in even higher spheres: “The goal participation looks good, but above all I like that he works more for the team. He helps defensively, sees better -placed teammates and (…) plays ripe. It has no influence on the market value, but also the unnecessary and theatrical BVB with the strongest development in the past few weeks and thus upgrading.
However, there are also some reserved voices. “Adeyemi polarized and even after more than three years I can’t really grab it. But you have to let him make himself a face of the club next to Schlotterbeck and this season under Kovac simply looks adult. (…) Let’s see if this shape lasts permanently and remains injury -free,” said user “94barrios18_09”. “JP_91” says: “I would initially upgrade to 50 million to 55 million euros at ADEYEMI. He has come into the season well so far and is currently in a top form. Unfortunately, it has been noticed in the past through his inconsistence, which is why I would not yet go higher. But if he can maintain its current form, it will of course go a lot further.”
I am one who sees Adeyemi a little critically. I do not have a precise reason for this, rather a gut feeling. I have the feeling that similar to many other German wing players, he is very fluctuating in his performance.
Now offers from Juve (45-50 million in conversation) and Naples (50 million in conversation).
Since then he has started the season really well and just achieved 2 scorers against that Juve
So I think you can do well and like to go to the offer …
Incidentally, it became clear in training that Adeyemi is currently not succeeding despite its outstanding form. When he tried to elegantly accepting a high pass with the hoe, the ball promised clearly. “Hoppala,” commented Adeyemi casually and smiled.
