Karim Adeyemi’s future at Borussia Dortmund is uncertain as the young star’s agent, Ali Barat, is in close talks with Chelsea.
The Blues, already known to have pursued big names like Moisés Caicedo and Nicolas Jackson, are now turning their attention to the German-born Nigerian forward. With Dortmund in a personnel crisis, characterized by a lack of rotation and reliance on U-23 players, the club could be forced to make difficult decisions, including parting ways with key players.
Adeyemi, who joined Dortmund in May 2022 on a deal running until 2027, has made his mark with the club, notably scoring his first Champions League goal in a 4-1 victory over Sevilla in October 2022. With a current market value of €35 million according to Transfermarkt, Adeyemi is an exciting prospect, and Chelsea’s interest adds to the mounting speculation about his future.
As the January transfer window approaches, Adeyemi’s next move could see him join the ranks of Premier League contenders, with the Blues poised to strike.
