Borussia Dortmund plan contract discussions with Karim Adeyemi | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund plan to speak to Karim Adeyemi in the winter to discuss a possible contract extension beyond 2027, according to Sport Bild.

Should an agreement not be found, then it’s likely that Adeyemi will be sold in 2026 when he only has 12 months remaining on his contract, as BVB don’t want to go into the 2026/27 season with the 23-year-old in the final year of his contract.

Because of the remaining time on his deal, the fee Borussia Dortmund will receive would be significantly less than the €65m-€70m fee they’ve commanded for the German forward should he be sold this summer. Although there are two years remaining on his current deal, Die Schwarzgelben have no intention of selling Adeyemi this summer, but that could change should a club meet their asking price.

Borussia Dortmund need Karim Adeyemi

With a contract until 2027, Adeyemi established himself as an important player under Niko Kovac. This came after the German attacker almost left the club for Napoli in January. And now with Gittens’ departure and an injury to Julien Duranville, Adeyemi will again be at the forefront of Dortmund’s attacking plans. The 23-year-old has created a formidable partnership with Serhou Guirassy, which BVB will want to keep heading into the 2025/26 season.
