Karim Adeyemi could be made available this month for sale, as Borussia Dortmund are ready to offload the winger linked with Arsenal and Manchester United.
According to Caught Offside, Karim Adeyemi could be made available for sale this month as Borussia Dortmund prefers to cash in rather than let his situation drag on until the summer. There are internal tensions between the winger and the club, with the Manchester United and Arsenal-linked star may cost in the region of €60-70 million.
Borussia Dortmund are losing hope of keeping Karim Adeyemi, as they have been unable to make headway in contract talks. With the expectation now pointing towards the two parties parting ways eventually, the club are open to the idea of a January sale to retain maximum value on the winger.
They had quoted a fee in the region of €60-70 million before, and that may be the case now, as Dortmund are ready to cash in on the winger. He has a few suitors from England, with some stories from earlier stating he preferred Arsenal over other teams, including Manchester United.
The winger has been on the radars of those two Premier League giants for some time now, but it remains to be seen whether either of those makes the move. The €60-70 million-rated German international’s price point might be an issue in this market, although it is Manchester United who have been actively linked with signing attacking talents this month.
They were keen on Manchester City-linked Antoine Semenyo, and with the Ghanaian now set for a move to the Etihad, they might view Adeyemi as an alternative. Whether the Red Devils have the financial capacity in January to buy the €60-70 million-rated German international remains to be seen, as this deal might be a bit challenging this month.
Arsenal to pursue Karim Adeyemi?
The report highlights Arsenal are the frontrunners in the chase, and insists they are ahead of Manchester United for the €60-70 million-rated German international. However, the Gunners have ample profiles similar to Adeyemi, which may make any move doubtful.
The Gunners are open to strengthening the left wing in the future, with Kenan Yildiz a big target ahead of the summer. Had Mikel Arteta wanted a left-winger, they would have entered the race for Semenyo this month, but currently, their stars are performing to the highest level. However, on the Adeyemi interest, the Gunners do admire the German, but they have the likes of Biyako Saka and Noni Madueke in that right-wing role.
