Desky: Dortmund hopes to renew Adeyemi, and has negotiated with agent Mendes

Hupu September 23rd News Dortmund hopes to renew his contract with 23-year-old winger Karim Adeyemi, who has an existing contract period until 2027.

According to German Sky Sports transfer expert and Dortmund reporter Patrick Berger, Adeyemi recently changed the agency again, and this is his third time in the past 12 months. Now he has signed with Mendes, a super agent who has long represented Ronaldo, and Mendes has made many promises to him. According to reports, Mendes has had its first contact with Dortmund sports director Sebastian Kyle, but the negotiations are still in its infancy.

Adeyemi joined from Salzburg in the summer of 2022 with a fixed transfer fee of 30 million euros plus a floating bonus of 3 million euros. During his time at Dortmund, he showed great potential, but his performance also fluctuated. So far, he has contributed 28 goals and 21 assists in 112 games. Under the new coach Kovac, his game style has become clearer, more mature and more aggressive. Previously, many clubs from Naples and Juventus have expressed interest in him many times, but Adeyemi chose to stay in the team: "I want to celebrate the championship with the team and fans!" However, it is reported that Adeyemi's long-term dream is still to enter the Premier League.

In terms of salary, his basic annual salary has reached nearly 6 million euros (excluding bonuses), making him one of the highest-paid players in the team. Through the competition bonus and loyalty reward, he earns up to 8 million euros. It is understood that Mendes even promised Adeyemi that he could double his salary in the future, which made the contract renewal negotiations more complicated. Dortmund has a clear attitude and hopes to keep Adeyemi, but will not do anything.

Kyle commented: "He took a big step forward. Currently this is the best Adeyemi we have seen in Dortmund." The player himself also said: "My game is based on the trust and confidence of my teammates and coaches, and I can feel this. I am glad I have performed well, but I must continue to do so."
