Borussia Dortmund are in “pole position” to beat Liverpool to the signing of a striker target who is also ready for talks with Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.
Liverpool are on the lookout for a striker who can lead their attack into a new era. Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all remain top talents, but are all going to be 30 years old by the start of next season.
An evolution over time may be required to protect the long-term future of the Reds’ frontline. The signing of Diogo Jota last summer showed the impact a new addition can have and another one may follow in 2022.
Liverpool have been looking at Karim Adeyemi, who has enjoyed a fine start to the season in Austria with RB Salzburg. The 19-year-old has 14 goals to his name from his first 20 appearances of the current campaign.
He also made his senior debut for Germany in September and marked the occasion with an international goal. Ever since, speculation has been intense about him returning to a club in his homeland.
