Liverpool would reportedly sign Red Bull Salzburg forward Karim Adeyemi ‘immediately’ at the right price.
The 20-year-old has been extensively linked with the Reds previously but had been expected to join Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
However, those negotiations are believed to have stalled and the Anfield club, as well as Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig, could be in the mix once again.
That’s according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Marc Behrenbeck, as cited by Sport Witness on Twitter.

Behrenbeck claims that Liverpool could be ‘sensing their chance’ to sign the three-cap Germany starlet.
So far this season Adeyemi – billed as the ‘perfect’ addition to Jurgen Klopp’s side by Kevin Campbell – has scored 19 times and registered four assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.

Valued at £31.5million and under contract in Austria until 2024 (Transfermarkt), signing the exciting youngster for the mooted €40million (£33.2million) would be a bargain.
Already a proven goalscorer on the European stage, Adeyemi’s ability to play as a central striker and on either wing would make the German a superb addition to Klopp’s ranks.
At the suggested price, with the futures of Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi in doubt, Liverpool should be all over this potential deal.
