Salzburg striker Karim Adeyemi has turned down the chance to play for Manchester United next season. This decision brings him even closer to Borussia Dortmund, who are well on their way to signing him.

Adeyemi does not want to join the Red Devils next season. United were one of the teams that were trying to sign the player, but the striker's refusal and the strong interest of Borussia Dortmund are complicating the English club's efforts.

Apparently, the player was an express request from Erik ten Hag, who wants to form a new project at the English club in the face of the departure of important players like Cavani. In fact, the Dutchman gave the green light to the sporting management to undertake the transfer, according to 'Sport1'.

However, the striker's wishes are to play in the Bundesliga and to do so at Borussia Dortmund. In addition, the possible departure of Erling Haaland at the end of the season would make Adeyemi his replacement.

Meanwhile, the same media outlet claimed a few days ago that the German club has practically closed the deal. The signing of the player would reach 38 million euros and could go up to 41 million euros depending on the variables.
