Liverpool are making a move to sign Dortmund star Karim Adeyemi

Liverpool have reportedly made a move to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Karim Adeyemi, according to Spanish newspaper Transfers.

After showing his goal-scoring talent for Red Bull Salzburg, the 23-year-old moved to Signal Iduna Park in 2022. Although he helped BVB reach the Champions League final a few seasons ago and showed glimpses of his qualities last season, overall his time cannot be considered a success.

So far this season he has been inconsistent and has not been able to start consistently. He scored six goals and registered three assists in sixteen starts in all competitions.

With his existing contract running until 2027, speculation about his future is beginning to emerge ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window.

Now, Transfers state that Liverpool have shown an interest in signing the Germany international by taking advantage of his current situation. The Reds are said to be looking for a new striker after the serious injury of Alexander Isak.

Arne Slot’s side have already made a move to complete the deal and plan to make an opening bid worth around £17 million. Dortmund value the player more than that and are surprised by the Merseyside club’s ridiculously low offer.

If the Bundesliga giants ultimately opt not to commit Adeyemi to another term, they could cash in on him next month to make the most of his departure. Dortmund are typically a selling club and are keen to generate significant income from the departure of their star players.

Adeyemi to Liverpool

Adeyemi, valued at around £52 million by Transfer marketis a left-footed, versatile attacker, as he is comfortable on either flank. It blisters quickly and is still very young. Therefore, he has enough time to reach his full potential.

With Mohamed Salah turning 34 next year and starting to show signs of decline, Liverpool appear intent on buying a long-term replacement for the Egyptian.

Adeyemi is a talented player and could be a smart signing for Liverpool if they buy him. It will be interesting to see if the Merseyside club ultimately manages to lure him to Anfield in January or next summer.
