Karim Adeyemi: Dortmund and Germany-Nigeria winger linked with Al‑Ahli move in Saudi Pro League rumour

Germany-Nigeria right winger Karim Adeyemi of Borussia Dortmund is being linked with a move to Saudi Pro League side Al‑Ahli, with speculation focusing on whether the 24-year-old could leave the Bundesliga club despite no confirmed contract expiry date.

The Dortmund attacker, valued at €40.00m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of a rumoured switch from Germany’s top flight to Saudi Arabia’s rapidly expanding league, with the probability of the move currently listed as “?” and no indication yet that a deal is close. There is also no public information on the duration of Adeyemi’s existing contract, leaving open future scenarios that could include him running down his deal and potentially becoming a free agent further down the line if no extension is agreed.

Born in München on 18 January 2002 and standing at 1.80m, Adeyemi operates primarily as an attacking right winger, cutting in from the flank on his preferred left foot. He wears the No 27 shirt for Dortmund and has been part of a side regularly competing in the Bundesliga and the Champions League since moving to the club, having built a reputation for acceleration, direct dribbling and pressing from the front.

Recent form remains part of Al‑Ahli’s reported interest, with Adeyemi featuring for Dortmund in their late‑season fixtures, including a June 2026 outing where he played on the right in a narrow win that underlined his threat in transition, even if he did not get on the scoresheet. Performances of that nature have helped sustain his market valuation around the €40m mark.

With Saudi clubs continuing to target European-based talent, a transfer to Al‑Ahli would mark a significant change of direction for Adeyemi at a relatively early stage of his career, and any move – now or when his contractual situation becomes clearer – would likely shape how the versatile winger is viewed in both European and global football.
