Borussia Dortmund star Karim Adeyemi has been linked with a move to Ligue 1 champions PSG this summer. Data from Transfermarkt lists the move at a 48% probability, which is significant.
The German international is set to enter the final year of his contract next month and faces uncertainty over his future at the Signal Iduna Park.
With no contract extension signed yet, Dortmund now face a dilemma whether to sell him off for a hefty price or risk losing him on a Bosman next summer.
The BVB were reportedly offering him a new contract until 2029, but with Adeyemi no longer a surefire starter and his entourage demanding to include a release clause, the talks eventually stalled.
An exit now appears increasingly likely with PSG monitoring his situation. The European champions want to reinforce their attacking vanguard with fresh legs and hence considering Adeyemi.
The 24-year-old is primarily a right-winger but can operate from anywhere across the frontline while possessing a keen eye for goal. He struck 10 goals and made six assists in all competitions for BVB this season to become a reliable figure upfront.
His pace and directness also deserves a mention while Adeyemi is astute at dribbling too, not letting his diminutive stature get bullied by any opponent.
Transfermarkt appropriates his market value at €50 million, which can be a hefty amount. But PSG have a developed a track record for exorbitant outlays in recent times plus the player is young and comes with a range of talents with the potential to develop further.
Should a transfer materialize, it would mark a significant step forward in Adeyemi's career as the young gun continues to climb up the ladder. After breaking out with Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund was the next big move for him. And four years later, he could be headed for even bigger things in Paris.
There's no report of talks between the parties yet, suggesting the links are just rumors at this stage. But in the coming days, it could still gather momentum depending on many factors such as Adeyemi's performances at the World Cup and any notable departures from the PSG camp.
For instance, Bradley Barcola could reportedly leave Parc des Princes after seeing his gametime reduced and has been linked with moves to Arsenal, Liverpool and Barcelona, all of whom are reportedly interested in the young Frenchman.
Besides PSG, Premier League giants Chelsea are said to be interested in Adeyemi too as they view him as someone who could be a valuable addition to the side.
