Karim Adeyemi breaks silence on Borussia Dortmund's future

Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi has addressed speculation surrounding his future as reports continue to link him with a potential summer departure.

Recent claims suggest contract extension talks between Adeyemi and Dortmund have stalled, sparking rumours that the 24-year-old could be sold for a fee in the region of €60 million.

The Nigerian-German international remains under contract at the Westfalenstadion until the summer of 2027.

Speaking to Ruhr Nachrichten, Adeyemi acknowledged the unpredictable nature of football and the uncertainty surrounding transfer speculation.

“In football, everything can change very quickly. It could all be decided in a month or two – maybe even in the next couple of weeks,” he said.

However, the winger was quick to point out that any decision regarding his future would involve both player and club.

“The decision isn’t mine alone. Many factors come into play, including considerations from the club. What you read in the media isn’t always accurate. My focus is here. I’ve never said I feel uncomfortable or anything like that,” Adeyemi explained.

Despite ongoing rumours, Adeyemi reiterated his commitment to Dortmund’s immediate objectives and refused to entertain talk of potential suitors.

“My goal has always been to compete at the very top. Nevertheless, I’m not going to make any bold pronouncements about other teams. We’re focusing on ourselves, doing our own thing. We have to stay true to ourselves, perform well, win games – and then we’ll see where we stand,” he added.

He concluded with a clear message about his ambition while at the club:

“I have a clear goal, and I’ll announce it again every year as long as I play here.”
