According to Sky Sports Germany, Manchester United is interested in Dortmund winger Adeyemi, and the director of its scouting department is very familiar with the German international as early as his time at Red Bull Salzburg.

Sky Sports Germany stated that they can confirm relevant media reports that Manchester United is interested in Adeyemi. United's head of scouting Christopher Wevell knows the 23-year-old Germany international well from his own time at Red Bull Salzburg, where he played between 2018 and 2022.

Dortmund hopes to renew Adeyemi's contract until at least 2030. Currently, during the negotiation process between the two parties, the player's star agent Mendes wants to include a termination clause in the new contract.

Dortmund's senior management is discussing internally whether to add corresponding "exit options" to the contracts of Adeyemi and Schloterbeck, and if so, how much the amount should be set to.

Since Gotze moved to Bayern in 2012, Dortmund has only set release clauses for players under exceptional circumstances in recent years. Examples include Haaland, Gilasi and verbal agreements with Sancho (for Manchester United).

Adeyemi's contract with Dortmund ends in the summer of 2027. So far this season, he has played 19 times for Dortmund, contributing 3 goals and 5 assists.
