Salzburg striker Karim Adeyemi will “definitely” move next summer, claim sources in Germany, with Liverpool among the clubs pursuing a deal worth up to £34 million.
Liverpool have tracked Adeyemi’s progress since his time with German club SpVgg Unterhaching, inviting him on trial at 15 only for the striker to join Salzburg.
After a two-year loan spell with feeder club FC Liefering, the teenager has now broken through as a first-choice starter at the Red Bull Arena, earning a senior cap with Germany.
So far this season, Adeyemi has scored 11 goals in 16 games, with Liverpool reviving their interest according to reports from BILD and Transfermarkt.
Now, Sky Germany claim that the striker will “definitely” leave in 2022, with a fee of between £25 million and £34 million touted for any potential deal.
Liverpool are credited with a recent enquiry, though it is reported that Bayern Munich, Dortmund and RB Leipzig have already held talks with Adeyemi’s representatives.
The youngster’s “career plan” includes time in Germany “before he might go abroad again,” though how reliable this is remains to be seen.
It would, of course, be no surprise if Adeyemi were to make the jump to the Bundesliga, with the pathway from Austria to the German top flight one well-trodden.
