TRENDING RUMORS

While Dortmund are pushing to get the 23-year-old Germany international to pen a new contract, any agreement currently remains way off. As such, United are continuing to monitor developments with Adeyemi, who has two goals in 10 Bundesliga appearances this season, and has been at the club since July 2022. According to Sky Germany, both Adeyemi and his agent, Jorge Mendes, are hoping to include a release clause in any extension.

- Liverpool are ready to rival Tottenham Hotspur to sign winger Antoine Semenyo, according to TEAMtalk. The Bournemouth star has been heavily linked with a move in January, having already notched six goals and three assists in the Premier League this term. Spurs are reported to have inquired over his availability back in the summer, only to have baulked at Bournemouth's £70 million transfer valuation.
