Dortmund weigh contract call on Karim Adeyemi amid mixed form

Borussia Dortmund is carefully assessing all future options for Karim Adeyemi as they plan their next steps for the 24-year-old forward.

He is under contract until the summer of 2027, but there is growing uncertainty over his long-term role at the club.

Adeyemi’s quality is not in doubt, yet his performances have fluctuated, and he has struggled to consistently impress when coming off the bench in recent weeks.

Dortmund have already put a new contract proposal on the table, notably without a release clause, while the player and his advisor Jorge Mendes are pushing for one to be included.

From the club’s perspective, the current offer is starting to look like a financial risk, especially if his development stalls. At the same time, they are keen to protect his reported 60 million euro market value, which makes securing his future strategically important.

The current feeling, according to reports, is that Dortmund may opt to extend Adeyemi’s deal to safeguard that value. Upcoming games against Atalanta and Bayern are seen as crucial in shaping the final decision, with his performances likely to heavily influence internal discussions.
