Liverpool threaten Borussia Dortmund plans for RB Salzburg striker Karim Adeyemi | OneFootball

Liverpool are threatening Borussia Dortmund's plans to sign RB Salzburg striker Karim Adeyemi.

Sky Deutschland says Dortmund have made a breakthrough in negotiations with Salzburg ahead of the summer transfer window.

A 'basic agreement' is said to be in place between the two clubs, but Dortmund aren't having similar joy in talks with Adeyemi himself. The report adds that Dortmund are still 'far away' from agreeing terms with Adeyemi.

Bonus payments and specific clauses are said to be holding up negotiations for the time being. And Liverpool could come in and hijack Dortmund's agreement as the Reds are said to still be in contact with the young German.

Jurgen Klopp's side had reportedly earmarked Adeyemi as a target in the January window before they moved to sign Luis Diaz. Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig are also touted as possible destinations for the striker.
