Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi leaves the door open for a Liverpool switch

It’s no secret that new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is set to welcome any new arrivals through the revolving door at Anfield this summer. But that could be about to change now that one of Europe’s most dynamic wings has expressed his openness to a move.

The Reds’ desire to strengthen their forward line in preparation for the new season is evident, as evidenced by their well-documented and so far unsuccessful pursuit of Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon.

Now, another reported candidate to back the team has publicly opened up the possibility of a move.

Asked about the prospect of playing for another team, Borussia Dortmund speedster Karim Adeyemi was clear when speaking to Ruhr Nachrichten.

Adeyemi attracting interest from England and Italy

“I’m wearing the Dortmund shirt and I’m very happy to wear the Dortmund shirt,” said the talented 22-year-old.

However, the Germany international has not ruled out an exit this summer. “There are no guarantees in life,” he said.

Given his age and electric pace, alongside his Bundesliga and Champions League experience, it should come as no surprise that top clubs are eyeing Adeyemi.

Premier League sides, plus Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan, are interested in the winger, reports Sky Sport Germany.

His contract runs until 2027, meaning he won’t come cheap, especially given Dortmund’s track record of cashing in on their young stars.

That said, the same source understands Adeyemi could leave for just over £33m – the price they bought him for.

Is Adeyemi good enough for Liverpool?

Although Adeyemi is an attractive proposition, he has not been a prolific goalscorer since moving to Germany from Red Bull Salzburg. In fact, he scored just nine goals in 45 league games.

At a side like Liverpool, he would be expected to reach new heights in this regard, especially if he becomes the long-term successor to Mohamed Salah or even Luis Diaz, who has been repeatedly linked with a move to this summer. .

There is no doubt that Dortmund, still in transition under a new manager – ex-Liverpool midfielder Nuri Sahin – know what Adeyemi can bring.

But for now, while his future is still somewhat up in the air, it seems unlikely that Liverpool will step up any interest unless other top targets, including Gordon and possibly Mohammed Kudus, are ruled out.
