Karim Adeyemi is considered the preferred candidate at Borussia Dortmund for the coming season. The 20-year-old offensive player has impressed in the current season with 18 competitive goals for RB Salzburg and should strengthen BVB’s offensive. Adeyemi is versatile and can play on the wings or in the striker.

This is still unclear. BVB has not yet completely shelved the Norwegian’s whereabouts, although a change in the summer is more likely given the continuing interest of numerous top clubs from all over Europe.
