Chelsea Pursue Adeyemi Despite His Hesitation

Chelsea are actively pursuing Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi, but the 22-year-old is reportedly uninterested in a move due to Chelsea's lack of Champions League football next season. Despite Chelsea's contact with Dortmund and Adeyemi's representatives, the German international is keen to stay in a team competing in the elite European competition. Dortmund are open to selling Adeyemi for around £25-35 million, fitting Chelsea's budget constraints. Chelsea, under new head coach Enzo Maresca, are looking to bolster their attacking options and may offload underperforming players like Mykhaylo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling if Adeyemi joins. The Premier League club has already made several signings this summer, including Tosin Adarabioyo and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, indicating an ongoing strategy to find good-value deals.
