Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Liverpool eyeing RB Salzburg talent Karim Adeyemi: Things to know about him

The
19-year-old
striker
has
been
in
fine
form
this
season
and
apparently,
that
has
caught
the
eye
of
three
European
bigwigs
that
includes
Bayern
Munich,
Liverpool
and
Barcelona.

Not
a
popular
name
in
the
European
circuit
yet,
these
are
the
couple
of
things
you
need
to
know
about
the
young
talent:

His
career
so
far

Bayern
are
one
of
the
clubs
believed
to
be
tracking
the
youngster,
but
the
player
has
already
had
a
two-year
spell
in
Bavaria
very
early
in
his
youth
career.
He
joined
the
academy
ranks
at
the
age
of
10,
but
due
to
some
disputes
over
disciplinary
action,
he
joined
SpVgg
Unterhaching
in
2012.
In
2019
he
made
a
€3m
transfer
to
Salzburg
and
it
looks
to
have
turned
his
fortune.

He
spent
18
months
on
loan
to
FC
Liefering
before
returning
to
Salzburg
last
year.
He
established
himself
in
the
first-team
squad
last
season,
scoring
nine
times
in
38
appearances.
However,
this
year
he
has
been
handed
a
more
prominent
role
and
he
looks
to
be
utilising
that
opportunity
to
the
fullest,
as
he
already
has
seven
goals
and
an
assist
in
nine
appearances.
At
the
same
time,
he
has
also
broken
into
the
German
national
side,
even
scoring
on
debut
against
Armenia
in
the
ongoing
international
break.

Playing
Style

Germany
coach
Hansi
Flick
has
labelled
the
youngster’s
finishing
as
‘ice-cold’ which
speaks
volumes
about
his
talent.
He
is
also
a
skilful
forward
who
is
extremely
agile,
quick
and
coordinates
himself
quite
nicely
while
combining
all
of
this
with
a
lot
of
tricks
and
drilling.
The
diminutive
youngster’s
small
frame
also
allows
him
not
only
to
retain
his
balance
under
tight
pressure
but
also
helps
to
nuzzle
through
tight
spaces.

Transfer
Fee

Following
his
scintillating
form
in
the
Austrian
Bundelisigia
this
season,
Adeyemi’s
value
has
only
rapidly
grown.
He
is
currently
under
contract
at
Salzburg
for
another
three
years
until
2024,
which
gives
the
Austrian
champions
a
firm
stand
to
demand
a
good
amount.
As
per
BILD,
his
valuation
is
around
€20m
but
that
is
likely
to
increase.
