BREAKING NEWS: live from Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea pursue €50m Champions League hero. Chelsea reportedly remain interested in signing Borussia Dortmund star. according to Reports, Enzo Maresca’s side have rekindled their interest in the Dortmund star and are eager to finalise a transfer in 2025, according to Fabrizio. The Bundesliga star has five goals and five assists in eight games across all competitions so far this season, including a hat-trick during Dortmund’s 7-1 demolition of Celtic in the Champions League last week.
Chelsea have renewed their interest in Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi, after previously deciding against pursuing him in the recent summer transfer window. Despite strengthening their attack with signings like Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, Jadon Sancho, and Marc Guiu, Chelsea are now considering a potential move for Adeyemi in 2025, according to reports from Fichajes.
Adeyemi is also attracting attention from Liverpool, who see him as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose contract expires in less than a year. Speculation about Salah’s future, including rumors of a lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League, has intensified the search for his successor.
Chelsea and Liverpool are reportedly set to compete for Adeyemi’s signature, with both clubs looking to bolster their attacking options. Adeyemi’s form this season has made him a top target, with five goals and five assists in just eight appearances. His standout performance came in Dortmund’s 7-1 Champions League win over Celtic, where he scored a hat-trick.
Dortmund is open to listening to offers for Adeyemi, valuing him at around €50 million. His contract runs until 2027, giving the club a strong position in negotiations. Adeyemi’s recent performances, including becoming the youngest German to reach 10 Champions League goals, have raised his profile across Europe.
Praise from Dortmund captain Emre Can highlights Adeyemi’s growing maturity and consistency. Since joining the club, Adeyemi has made 74 appearances, scoring 19 goals, and his versatility and speed make him an appealing target for top clubs. Chelsea view him as a key future investment, while Liverpool, preparing for a post-Salah era, are also determined to secure his services.
As the 2025 transfer window approaches, both clubs will likely continue tracking Adeyemi’s progress, with Dortmund’s willingness to negotiate potentially making a Premier League move more likely in the near future.
