Manchester United has set its sights on Borussia Dortmund striker Karim Adeyemi, who could depart for €60‑70 million if contract talks stall. United argues Champions League exposure makes them the ideal destination, while Chelsea and Liverpool also weigh in.

Adeyemi’s 24‑year‑old burst at Dortmund earned him a release clause near €70 million and a contract that expires next summer. With Dortmund ready to let him go to avoid a free transfer, United’s bid could snap up a forward who has shown both explosive pace and moments of inconsistency.

United also pursues full‑back Julian Ryerson as a backup to Diogo Dalot, though a deal would need over €30 million to persuade Dortmund. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso’s takeover at Chelsea has shifted the goal‑keeper search, turning attention to AC Milan’s Mike Maignan and other options.

These moves could reshape the Premier League’s defensive and offensive balance, placing United and Chelsea in direct contention for emerging talent while keeping Dortmund in the running for key defensive reinforcements.
