Real Madrid re-enter race for €35 million-rated German wonderkid

Karim Adeyemi has been the highlight of several clubs’ transfer plans over the past few months. The wonderkid is expected to be the next big thing in German football, and his incredible ceiling has attracted attention far and wide.

Despite receiving interest from the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, Adeyemi was drawn towards the project at Borussia Dortmund. With Erling Haaland set to move away from the Bundesliga side, the 20-year-old was thought of as the Norwegian’s replacement.

However, talks have stalled between Dortmund and Adeyemi, and things are no longer as clear as they were. According to reports from Diario AS, Real Madrid have re-entered the race for the signature of the striker.

The RB Salzburg player has scored 19 goals and provided 4 assists across all competitions this season. He averages close to 3 shots per game in the Bundesliga and also provides ” key pass in every game.

Salzburg demand a fee of €42.5 million for their star striker, a fee considered high by many in Europe. Moreover, it was the disparity over the transfer fee that saw talks with Dortmund break down.

The fee involved may not be too high for Los Blancos to shell out, however, it will be subject to scrutiny given that the club focus on other positions too.

The (highly-likely) arrival of Kylian Mbappe will be a major boost to the forward line, and it remains to be seen if Adeyemi is considered a necessity after the French star’s arrival.

As of now, Florentino Perez is alert to the German’s situation and continues to harbor him in the transfer plans.
