Liverpool are one the elite European clubs to ‘show serious interest’ in Red Bull Salzburg forward Karim Adeyemi according to fresh reports.
The 19-year-old is enjoying a sublime start to the 2021/22 season and is attracting attention from around the continent.
Following yet another leading role in the Austrian side’s UEFA Champions League success, Adeyemi admitted it was an ‘honour’ to be linked with the likes of the Anfield club.
The midweek goal and a brace against Sturm Graz this weekend took the teenager’s tally to 16 goal contributions in 18 appearances.
Now a report from Austrian outlet Laola1 has claimed that Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and the Reds have already shown their admiration.
The report quotes Salzburg sporting director, Christoph Freund, insisting that the three times capped Germany starlet won’t be sold in January.

Signing additional forwards as soon as January could be important for Jurgen Klopp’s side as the German prepares for life without Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane temporarily.
Capable of playing across the frontline, Adeyemi looks to be the ideal candidate to supplement the front three at Anfield with room to develop into a leading light.
Valued at £18million and under contract until 2024 (Transfermarkt), paying the mooted £25-33million would be a worthwhile piece of business.
