The La Liga giants are said to be monitoring Adeyemi’s development even though they must be prepared to fork out around €42.5m if they wish to prise the striker away from Salzburg this summer.

Adeyemi, who has already received three international caps with Germany, is under contract at Salzburg until June 2024.
