Since Todd Boehly’s hefty investment, Chelsea has been one of the most active teams in the transfer market. The Blues have recently shown interest in Borussia Dortmund’s winger Karim Adeyemi, a standout player who has caught the eye of several top clubs.
According to the Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, Liverpool has now entered the fray to sign Adeyemi, joining Chelsea in the pursuit.
Napoli had been in talks for the German star after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s move to Paris Saint-Germain but found his price tag prohibitive, paving the way for the English clubs.
Dortmund has set Adeyemi’s valuation at around £38 million, and there’s a suggestion that he might be allowed to leave before the transfer window closes if the offer is right.
Liverpool, with their financial capability, could outbid Chelsea, especially given their current standing in competitions.
Liverpool are leading the Premier League and are in a strong position in the Champions League, which could be very appealing to Adeyemi.
At Anfield, he would join a squad with a real shot at winning titles, potentially earning two medals by the end of the 2024/25 season.
While Chelsea boasts a wealth of wing options, Liverpool’s need for new wide players is evident with the uncertain future of Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Mohamed Salah, all of whom have been linked with moves away. This scenario would likely guarantee Adeyemi significant playing time at Liverpool.
Chelsea’s main advantage over Liverpool might be their financial muscle, having spent lavishly in recent transfer windows.
They could potentially offer Dortmund more money and a more lucrative deal for Adeyemi. Nevertheless, it seems increasingly likely that Adeyemi could soon make a move to the Premier League from Germany.
