The poker around Karim Adeyemi is getting worse and worse. The best cards are attributed to Borussia Dortmund, but apparently nothing has been decided yet.
As “sky” reported, RB Salzburg and BVB reached an agreement this week. According to this, after numerous negotiations, there was finally a breakthrough.
According to the TV broadcaster, the clubs met for a fee of 35 million euros. Adeyemi should sign a five-year contract with the black and yellow. Recently it has always been said that BVB no longer wants to pay 35 million euros, while Salzburg insists on 45 million euros.
But the whole thing has a big catch: According to the report, BVB and the Austrians are still far apart when it comes to contract details. No agreement has yet been found on clauses and bonus payments.
According to the TV station, the “fronts are currently even hardened”. In addition, Adeyemi is holding talks with RB Leipzig, Liverpool FC and Paris Saint-Germain parallel to the BVB negotiations.
In its Thursday edition, the “kicker” reported that Adeymi is still the focus of FC Bayern. The 20-year-old national player is “controversially” discussed by those responsible as a possible successor to Serge Gnabry, who has so far refused to extend his contract, which expires in 2023, and is traded at Real Madrid.
Adeyemi to BVB? “I have no idea myself”
Adeyemi himself had recently expressed reservations about the speculation. Explicitly asked by “Sky” what the sporting future looks like from the summer, the DFB youngster could not and did not want to be specific: “My focus is here, so I cannot give anything out there. I have no idea myself what to say about that,” said Adeyemi, who smiled embarrassedly away from the subject.
Adeyemi still has an ongoing contract with RB Salzburg until 2024. However, his impending departure from the club in the direction of a top European league, most likely the Bundesliga, is considered certain.
