Karim Adeyemi

Karim Adeyemi of Borussia Dortmund was born in Munich, Germany on 18 January 2002 (age 22)

Karim Adeyemi, born on the 18th of January 2002 in Germany, is a forward who primarily plays as a left-winger for Borussia Dortmund. At 5 feet 9 inches (1.77m) of height and weighing 11st 11lb (75kg), he is a well-built player. He dons the number 27 jersey.

As of now, his current market value is believed to be around £24m, according to Transfermarkt. His ongoing contract with Borussia Dortmund has about 2 years and 9 months left, expiring on the 30th of June, 2027.

Adeyemi's journey in professional football began in July 2018 with his transfer from Unterhaching in Germany to the Austrian Bundesliga team Red Bull Salzburg. The deal was reported to be around £2.5m. At Salzburg, he made ten first-team appearances and scored once during the 2019-2020 season. In the following season, he was featured 29 times in the starting line-up and scored seven goals. In his last season with the team (2021-2022), he managed to score 19 times from his 29 starts for the team.

In the interim, Adeyemi was loaned to FC Liefering in the 2. Liga in Austria. His stint with FC Liefering was notable. In his debut season (2018-2019), Adeyemi made 20 appearances and scored six times. Further, in the 2019-2020 season, he scored nine goals in just 14 appearances. However, in the 2020-2021 season at FC Liefering, he managed to make only a single appearance.

Upon finishing his loan term, Adeyemi returned to Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020. He continued to play for them until the completion of the 2021-2022 season, wherein he scored 19 goals in 29 games.

In July 2022, Adeyemi was transferred to Borussia Dortmund, another Bundesliga team in Germany, for a significant amount of around £27m. Here, he appeared 24 times and found the back of the net six times during the 2022-2023 season. The following season saw him starting 21 times, scoring three goals. The current season (2024-2025) has recorded him five times on the field, with a tally of two goals.

Besides his Bundesliga journey, Adeyemi has had his share in Champions League competitions too. In the 2023-2024 league while playing for Borussia Dortmund, he started eight times, was fielded as a substitute four times and managed to score twice. Furthermore, he has already scored three goals in merely two starts for Champions League 2024-2025.
