Manchester United’s attempt to hijack Borussia Dortmund’s bid to sign Red Bull Salzburg forward Karim Adeyemi has failed, despite offering the Germany international a huge £150,000 per week, Megasportsarena.com reports.
The Red Devils plan to make massive changes to their squad when incoming boss Erik ten Hag leaves Ajax and takes over at Old Trafford this summer, and a new forward will likely be on his list of targets.
But one player United will not be getting through the door is Salzburg starlet Adeyemi – according to reports in Germany- who says United ‘tried to hijack’ his move to Dortmund with a ‘top offer’ of £150,000 per week.
The player turned down that huge salary because he ‘always wanted’ to link up with the German giants at Signal Iduna Park – with his deal to join the Bundesliga side set to be completed in the coming weeks, he claims.
Adeyemi has emerged as one of the top talents in Europe after a top goalscoring season that has seen him net 21 times in all competitions for Salzburg.
Four of those came in the Champions League – putting his talent on the highest stage by netting against Brondby, Lille and Wolfsburg.
