Bundesliga: New BVB summer signing reportedly cheaper than expected
A look at the rumors surrounding Karim Adeyemi's transfer fee
Background: BVB announced Adeyemi signing in May
In mid-May, Borussia Dortmund announced the signing of striker Karim Adeyemi from RB Salzburg. The German international had been linked with a move to the Black and Yellows for several months, and his arrival was seen as a major coup for the club. However, the exact fee that Dortmund paid for Adeyemi was not disclosed at the time.
Initial reports suggested a fee of around €38 million
According to initial reports, Dortmund had agreed to pay a transfer fee of around €38 million for Adeyemi. This figure would have made him the most expensive signing in the club's history, surpassing the €30 million that was paid for Erling Haaland in 2020.
Newer reports claim a lower fee of €30 million
However, more recent reports have claimed that Dortmund actually paid a lower fee for Adeyemi. According to these reports, the transfer fee was closer to €30 million. This would still make Adeyemi one of the most expensive signings in Dortmund's history, but it would be a significant reduction from the initial reports of €38 million.
Why the discrepancy in the reported fees?
The discrepancy between the initial and more recent reports of Adeyemi's transfer fee is likely due to the fact that the initial reports were based on estimates, while the more recent reports are based on information from sources close to the club. It is also possible that the transfer fee was negotiated down at the last minute.
Dortmund got a good deal on Adeyemi
Regardless of the exact fee that Dortmund paid for Adeyemi, it is clear that they got a good deal on the German international. Adeyemi is one of the most promising young strikers in the world, and he is expected to play a key role for Dortmund in the years to come.
