Aged 33, Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has been the undisputed leader and scorer for the Bavarians pretty much since he signed as a free agent from arch rivals Borussia Dortmund in 2014. Seven seasons later, the Pole has scored 307 goals for Bayern in 339 games and while he shows no signs of slowing down, it would be normal for Bundesliga champions to think about another striker who can fill in, since Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (32) is clearly not the answer. The best goal scorers in the club for the last two seasons after Lewandowski were midfielder Muller (15 in 2020) and winger Gnabry (23 in 2019). Little, compared to Lewa’s 48 and 55 goals. And the Bavarians had the answer in their youth Academy but they let him slip away and now, even if they manage to get him back, it will cost them a lot of money – Karim Adeyemi. Karim Adeyemi became the youngest German to score a Champions League brace, a record previously held by Thomas Muller 🇩🇪 #NXGN pic.twitter.com/75kVRkWgbL— Goal News (@GoalNews) September 30, 2021 Adeyemi joined Bayern Munich at the age of eight, but things didn’t worked out between the club and the player, apparently due to Adeyemi’s attitude, which the young German denied, and stated that in Munich, you have to stay 100% on club’s course, or else. “Since I’m from Munich and Bayern is the best club in the city, it used to be my favourite club. I was really happy to get the chance to play with the best young players in Munich. My idol has always been Arjen Robben. The way he went one-on-one and his precise shots on goal impressed me. It remains to be seen whether Bayern felt I had a lack of discipline. I don’t think that was the decisive factor. It just didn’t fit with Bayern anymore. We didn’t get along so well anymore. The relationship between my parents and the sports director at the time was no longer as it should be” he said a year ago. (2.40) ITALY (3.15) SPAIN (3.40)And now he is flourishing in Red Bull Salzburg, who signed him from Unterhaching in 2018, the same year Liverpool were looking at the youngster. Adeyemi already scored 11 goals in 16 matches for the Austrians, and while their league is certainly not among Top 5 in Europe, let’s remind people who used to play striker for Salzburg before Adeyemi: a certain Erling Haaland and Patson Daka. Bayern beaten 2-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt in first defeat under Julian NagelsmannValued at 2.5 billion Ksh, he would be suited not only for his former employees Bayern Munich, but also for Liverpool, as Jurgen Klopp is a big admirerer, and he would suit his 4-3-3 formation perfectly, eventually replacing the 29-year old Fabinho, or playing instead of Salah and Mane, if there is opportunity. But now, all European giants, not only Liverpool, are monitoring Salzburg’s wonderkid, and while his whereabouts in June 2022 is still not known, his national appearance was set years ago: born with Nigerian father and Romanian mother, Adeyemi was born in Munich and plays for German National team. He went to all under 21 selections and eventually debuted for the senior team against Armenia, scoring his first goal in a 6-0 win.
