Man United target German-Nigerian striker Karim Adeyemi amid Dortmund tensions
Manchester United are monitoring Karim Adeyemi’s current situation at Borussia Dortmund. His future at the club is increasingly uncertain amid contract talks and recent disciplinary issues.
Adeyemi, who has Nigerian heritage through his family, has attracted attention from several top European clubs.
The 23-year-old Germany international is contracted to Dortmund until 2027, but BVB are reportedly negotiating a new deal with his representatives.
Sources at BILD claim he is seeking a significant pay rise and a buyout clause set at €80 million.
Manchester United’s interest has reportedly intensified since Adeyemi signed with super agent Jorge Mendes.
Mendes maintains strong links with Old Trafford management, raising speculation about a potential move to England.
Tensions between Adeyemi and Dortmund have grown in recent weeks.
Last week, he clashed with coach Niko Kovac, who substituted him during a draw against Hamburg.
This followed a previous incident where Adeyemi threw a water bottle at the bench.
Adeyemi has scored consistently since joining Dortmund, and his combination of pace and finishing ability makes him a coveted target.
Clubs are closely watching how Dortmund handle the situation before making approaches.
Whether Dortmund can resolve the standoff remains uncertain. Adeyemi’s demands, coupled with disciplinary concerns, could determine whether he stays in Germany or seeks a transfer in the summer window.
Man United, in particular, are evaluating the situation carefully. The Premier League club has a history of signing young, high-potential forwards, and Adeyemi fits that profile.
