The exchange poker around Karim Adeyemi is over. As expected, the young striker joins Borussia Dortmund.
Karim Adeyemi is moving to BVB. Borussia Dortmund officially confirmed the transfer of the 20-year-old attacker on Tuesday afternoon. Adeyemi comes from Red Bull Salzburg and signs a contract that runs until 2027.
Nothing is initially known about the amount of the fee. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the base amount should be around 38 million euros. Adeyemi would be the most expensive new signing in the history of the Black and Yellows. Other clubs had also shown interest in him including England’s record champions Manchester United.
BVB: Adeyemi comes, Haaland before the jump
He should help BVB to compensate for the upcoming departure of striker Erling Haaland. This will move to Manchester City.
Adeyemi has had a strong season for Salzburg, scoring 23 goals and 8 assists in 42 games in all competitions. Hansi Flick, coach of the German national team, also noticed these achievements, so Adeyemi made his national team debut on September 5, 2021 in the World Cup qualifier against Armenia and scored directly.
