Chelsea Eyes Adeyemi Despite Forward's Reluctance to Move

Chelsea is keen on bolstering their attack by signing versatile forward Karim Adeyemi following a lackluster Premier League season. However, Adeyemi is hesitant to make the switch to Stamford Bridge, according to The Daily Mail.

Adeyemi enjoyed a strong season with Borussia Dortmund, culminating in their run to the Champions League final. Despite this, Dortmund is open to selling the 22-year-old for the right price as they pursue other targets, including Serhou Guirassy from Stuttgart, Lyon's Rayan Cherki, and Brighton's Pascal Gross.

One major sticking point for Adeyemi is his desire to play in next season's Champions League, which

cannot offer. With the Blues set to compete in the Conference League, Adeyemi is reportedly 'unreceptive' to the move.

As Chelsea looks to rebuild under new leadership, securing a player of Adeyemi's caliber would be a significant coup. However, the forward's preference for top-tier European competition poses a challenge for the London club.

For now, Adeyemi is set to begin pre-season training with Dortmund under new head coach Nuri Sahin. While a transfer remains possible, it appears that any move will hinge on the ability of potential suitors to meet his Champions League aspirations.

Chelsea will continue their search for attacking reinforcements as they aim to improve their squad ahead of the upcoming season. With several weeks remaining in the transfer window, the Blues still have time to secure the right additions to their team.
