Overview
- Multiple reports this week say Chelsea have contacted super-agent Jorge Mendes about Karim Adeyemi, with Manchester United also pushing to sign the Borussia Dortmund forward.
- Dortmund have offered a new deal, yet reporting says Adeyemi’s camp want an €80m release clause while the club is prepared to sell for about €65–70m.
- Newcastle United are named as another suitor, and some outlets suggest a fee around €60–65m could be enough to clinch a deal.
- Adeyemi is under contract until 2027 and has logged 144 games with 36 goals and 24 assists for Dortmund, with many of this season’s league appearances coming from the bench.
- Some coverage notes tactical friction with coach Niko Kovac and adds that Mendes could float Bayern Munich or PSG as alternatives, which is presented as speculative.
