Why Adeyemi chose Dortmund over Bayern Munich
Karim Adeyemi, born in Munich, has had the opportunity to become a Bayern Munich player - but he ultimately turned it down in favour of Bayern's biggest rival, Borussia Dortmund. Speaking in an interview with 'WAZ', the 23-year-old recalled his early days in Munich and his admiration for Bayern legend Arjen Robben. 'I don't need to lie, I played for FC Bayern and was a huge Arjen Robben fan when I was a little boy!" - Adeyemi was in Bayern's youth academy between 2010 and 2011. 'But the older I got, the more I liked that Dortmund was the club in Germany that fought for titles with fewer resources, had very good players, and the best fans in Germany.' After continuing his development and career at Unterhaching (near Munich), RB Salzburg and FC Liefering, Adeyemi joined Borussia Dortmund in 2022 for €30 million - Bayern Munich were also interested in him during that time. 'I enjoy every moment when I'm at home in Signal Iduna Park. That's why I chose Borussia Dortmund.' After some ups and downs in his Dortmund career so far, Adeyemi is now considered to be one of BVB's most important forwards and also played a crucial role under headcoach Niko Kovač.

Borussia Dortmund & Germany Star Joins Chelsea & RB Leipzig Forwards On Inter Milan List Of Backup Targets For Ademola Lookman
Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi has come onto Inter Milan's list of targets in attack if they're unable to sign Ademola Lookman. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan's pursuit of Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has certainly been encountering difficulties. The Nerazuzrri have had two offers rejected for the 27-year-old Nigerian international. And they are not sure how much higher they'll have to go after La Dea turned down €45 million including add-ons. Therefore, Inter are looking around at other possible targets to bolster their attack if they're unable to sign Lookman.

However, Tuttosport report, there is another name that has come up on Inter's radar. The Nerazzurri had already targeted Karim Adeyemi when he was at Red Bull Salzburg. The German international has been playing for Borussia Dortmund for a few years now. And according to Tuttosport, Inter are considering the possibility of a move for Adeyemi if they can't secure Lookman.
