Liverpool have swiftly shifted focus following Antoine Semenyo’s decision to join Manchester City, entering preliminary talks with the representatives of German international winger Karim Adeyemi. The Borussia Dortmund star, 23, is seen as a “world-class” option who could step in as a key attacking reinforcement in January.
Reports indicate that Adeyemi could be available for around £20 million, significantly below Semenyo’s reported £65 million asking price, making him a financially attractive alternative. Over his career at Dortmund, Adeyemi has scored 32 goals and provided 22 assists in 129 appearances, showcasing the pace, versatility, and technical quality Liverpool desire on the flanks.
Borussia Dortmund head coach Niko Kovac has praised Adeyemi’s ability and potential, describing him as “world-class” and highlighting his readiness to perform at the highest level. Liverpool see him as a player capable of filling the void left by Semenyo’s rejection, while also complementing the squad’s style under Arne Slot.
With Semenyo off the table, Liverpool are moving quickly to secure Adeyemi before the January window, aiming to strengthen their attack at a bargain price and maintain their competitive edge in the Premier League.
