[Gossip Board] Dortmund Cannot Reach An Agreement And Prepare To Sell Adeyemi; Nmecha’s 80 Million Release Clause Will Take Effect In 27 Years

The German media affiliated with "Bild" and its Dortmund reporter team wrote a column about the transfer on April 29. This report was released by Hupu.

Karim Adeyemi (24 years old):

As an offensive star, his contract will expire in the summer of 2027. Dortmund has been negotiating with him to renew his contract for several months. However, according to the report given by "Sports Bild", it is still extremely difficult and slim for the two parties to reach a contract.

After Booker took office on March 23, he immediately started negotiations with Adeyemi's agent, which also included a telephone conversation with Jorge Mendez (60), the head of the Portuguese agency giant "Gestifute".

The newly appointed sporting director stated Dortmund's vision, which Booker had previously discussed with sporting managing director Lars Riken (49). Mendes also said that he was thinking about changing Adeyemi's termination clause, which may be triggered.

Result: The current level of disagreement between the two parties is very huge. The key points of dispute between the two parties are the salary and the amount involved in the release clause. These clauses will take effect in the summer of 2027. There has never been any discussion like Nico Schloterback. The possibility that players can use the release clause to leave the team immediately in the summer.

Dortmund still intends to renew Adeyemi's contract. However, if the two sides fail to reach an agreement in the next few weeks, the club management is determined to prevent Adeyemi from entering the last year of the contract, which means that the club will issue an ultimatum. In this case, the German international will be sold in the summer.

Especially in recent weeks, he has not been a regular player under coach Niko Kovac, the 54-year-old. Adeyemi's situation is likely to become Booker's most troublesome personnel issue in the coming months.

Nico Schlotterbeck (26 years old):

The player who plays the center back position has caused quite a stir with his contract extension. His contract has been extended to 2031 because the new contract contains a termination clause that can take effect as early as this summer. However, those responsible hold a strong view.

This clause will not be activated for the time being, because Schlotterbeck's condition has declined to a certain extent in recent months, and the three clubs that renewed his contract this summer, including Real Madrid and Liverpool, are also aware of this situation.

Schlotterbeck may change the current situation when he occupies the main position of the German team during the World Cup. However, the club does not have enough time. According to "Sports Bild", Schlotterbeck's summer termination clause will expire one week after the World Cup final (July 19) and will become invalid at that time.

Felix Nmecha (25 years old):

This statement surprised Dortmund. National team coach Julian Nagelsmann, 38, talked about Nmecha's possible absence from the World Cup at the end of March, saying "there is definitely a possibility that he will not be able to participate in the World Cup." However, the club's senior management was already quite optimistic at the time.

Yes, their judgment is correct, and this has been confirmed by the facts: on the one hand, Nmecha is advancing according to the original comeback plan, and the midfielder is expected to return to Dortmund's competition venue again this season; on the other hand, as far as his situation is concerned, one thing is clear, that is, there is no problem with qualifying for the World Cup.

Club officials are also convinced that Nmecha will continue to wear the Dortmund uniform next season. This is also the consensus reached between the club and Nmecha. The player himself has been informed that he will become the core of Dortmund's offense next season. Nmecha has also happily accepted this role. His release clause (approximately 80 million euros) will not take effect until 2027, which is different from Schloterback.
