Liverpool have become the latest club to express interest in Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi, joining Chelsea and Napoli in the pursuit of the highly-rated 23-year-old.
Adeyemi was frequently linked with a move away from Dortmund last season, with Chelsea consistently reported as a leading contender. The Blues remain in the mix, continuing their search for a left-sided forward, according to reports from Germany.
Napoli have also set their sights on Adeyemi as a potential alternative to Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, who has been heavily linked with a move to Serie A. Chelsea, meanwhile, are monitoring both players.

Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport now adds Liverpool to the list of suitors, revealing that the Reds are keeping a close eye on Adeyemi’s situation. Unlike their rivals, Liverpool are not pursuing a January move, which aligns with reports suggesting Adeyemi is hesitant to leave Dortmund mid-season.
This hesitation could provide Liverpool with an advantage, as the winger may prefer to evaluate his options in the summer. Napoli, meanwhile, have reignited their pursuit of Garnacho but have not ruled out Adeyemi, who is expected to be a more cost-effective option than the Manchester United youngster.
Liverpool’s potential summer interest in Adeyemi comes amid uncertainty surrounding the futures of several key forwards at Anfield. Mohamed Salah is in the final six months of his contract and could leave for free in the summer, while both Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez have been linked with big-money moves away from the club.
Adeyemi’s future is set to remain a hot topic as clubs continue to monitor his development at Dortmund.
