Erling Haaland is still in Dortmund, but Borussia don’t want to wait until May – the new Haaland is on it’s way to Germany. According to Bild, next big thing out of Salzburg – Karim Adeyemi has chosen Westfalenstadion and the great “Yellow wall”, and will sign for Borussia next season. So far, nothing has been agreed with Haaland, and certainly Dortmund would like to keep him as well, and potentially, if they manage to do it, they will have two great strikers to attack the Bundesliga crown. But keeping the Norwegian will be a tough job, as his agent Mino Raiola confirmed yesterday. Next Haaland comes from Salzburg, has Nigerian decent and was snubbed by BayernAccording to Bild, Adeyemi and the club have an agreement and personal terms are being finished also. But, the price is not agreed yet. RB Salzburg, the ‘sister’ club to RB Leipzig is not in a financial crisis and they have a contract with Adeyemi until 2024 without a release clause, which means they are controlling the deal. And their quest is 5 billion Ksh minimum, and they would like more, but Borussia will offer 4.4 billion at most. So, the poker game begins between the clubs.The kid is ready for the big leagues – Barcelona set aside 45 million USD for AdeyemiAdeyemi was born in Munich by Nigerian father and Romanian mother and plays for German National team, as he declared himself a German. He didn’t succeed in Bayern’s youth academy and went to Austria via Unterhaching. He already said that he grew up in Munich idolizing Arjen Robben and Bayern Munich and many thought that he will jump at the chance to go back to his youth club, but apparently, the Bavarians haven’t called. And probably won’t call, since their tactical formation with one striker will not be changed any time soon, and Lewandowski is the only striker in Munich for years now. So, young Adeyemi wisely choose the second biggest club in Germany. He already shone with three goals in the Champions League and has 15 goals in 27 competitive games for Salzburg.(6.50) BOCHUM (4.40) DORTMUND (1.55)BVB sporting director Michael Zorc recently confirmed that Adeyemi is a good player and that the other big clubs are also after the player. And his transfer to Borussia would probably mean a definitive departure for Erling Haaland, which was already announced (sort of) by his agent Mino Raiola. “Maybe this summer, maybe the summer after. But there is a great chance that Erling will leave this summer. We will see. Bayern, Real, Barcelona, City – these are the big clubs he can go to. City has won the championship five times in recent years, significantly more than United. When we moved to Dortmund, we all knew that this step would come. When you see the passion of the people in Dortmund, that’s great. Every player loves this yellow wall, including Erling. He came because he wanted to play in front of this grandstand. Incidentally, it would have been much easier and perhaps even better for Dortmund to sell Erling in the summer. But you said no for footballing reasons. That deserves my greatest respect’” the Italian told Sport 1.
