Adeyemi changed his consulting agency a few months ago. According to the report, the 22-year-old is now represented by Ali Barat and the Epic Sports agency. Barat, who already looks after players like Nicolas Jackson, has good connections to Chelsea FC and its co-owner Behdad Eghbali.
The offensive player has been on the Londoners’ wish list for a long time. The change in advisor now increases the rumors of a possible departure, even if Dortmund is in a good starting position. Adeyemi’s contract runs until 2027.
So far this season he has played eight competitive games in which he scored five goals and prepared five more. After a torn muscle fiber, he recently celebrated his comeback in the squad in the 2-3 win in the Champions League against Barça.
Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel is also said to be on the list at Chelsea. The Londoners are reportedly not happy with their current line-up in goal. Robert Sanchez is currently the starting goalkeeper, with Filip Jorgensen acting as a substitute. But Chelsea are apparently looking for reinforcements in the long term.
The Swiss national goalkeeper, who is under contract in Dortmund until 2028, has been repeatedly linked to Chelsea in the past. Kobel himself is not currently thinking about a change, but emphasized that he wants to see progress at BVB in order to be able to compete for titles in the long term.
