What happened?
Adeyemi has impressed since joining Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg in 2022, and he is in good form this season. His hat-trick in Tuesday’s 7-1 Champions League win over Celtic brought his total to five goals in eight games.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Liverpool has sent scouts to watch the 22-year-old winger numerous times and is willing to pay roughly €50 million (£42 million/$55 million) to get him to the Premier League, according to Bild. The Merseyside club could lose star forward Salah when his contract ends next summer, and the Germany international is being considered as a possible replacement.
Did you know?
Salah has stated that he will not sign an extension and that this will be his final season with the Reds, but his agent recently refuted reports of a possible transfer for the Egypt star. Adeyemi is not the only player Liverpool has identified as a potential successor; Christian Pulisic is thought to be on their radar.

What’s next for Liverpool?
Salah has already scored eight goals in five games this season, and the 32-year-old will look to add to that total when Arne Slot’s squad faces Bologna in the Champions League on Wednesday.
