# Virals: Liverpool ‘keep pushing to close’ Karim Adeyemi transfer

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/11/pundit-labels-reported-liverpool-target-gavi-as-a-maestro/) have been extensively linked with a move for Red Bull Salzburg forward [Karim Adeyemi](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/07/virals-liverpool-target-karim-adeyemi-almost-certain-to-leave-in-2022/) in recent weeks.

The Reds are [believed](https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/adama-traore-fitxatge-liverpool-jurgen-klopp-wolves_655229_102.html) to be among a number of clubs pursuing the starlet following a superb start to the 2021/22 season.

German Bundesliga trio Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are all said to be [keen](https://bayernstrikes.com/2021/09/07/bayern-munich-remains-interested-karim-adeyemi/) on the 19-year-old Munich-born ace.

Now, a fresh claim from [Agento Secreto](https://twitter.com/AgentoSecretoV2/status/1447523404085710851) on Twitter has claimed that Liverpool ‘keep pushing to close’ the deal for the ace.

Recently [capped by Germany](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/karim-adeyemi/nationalmannschaft/spieler/496094/verein_id/3262) at the senior level, Adeyemi has burst onto the scene in Austria over the last 18 months.

Following an impressive [seven-goal and nine assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/karim-adeyemi/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/496094/plus/0/saison/2020/wettbewerb/A1/verein/409) campaign in 2020/21 in the shadow of Patson Daka, the versatile forward has taken the mantle as the main man at Salzburg.

So far this term, the man described as [‘ice cold’](https://talksport.com/football/939734/liverpool-target-wonderkid-karim-adeyemi-germany-bayern-munich-barcelona-transfer/) by Hansi Flick, has [scored 11 times and provided two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/karim-adeyemi/leistungsdaten/spieler/496094) in 16 appearances.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Adding attacking options in January could be the difference between simply [competing](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-liverpool-first-transfers-20666448) for and winning the major honours this season.

Although Jurgen Klopp’s side have made an unbeaten start to the new season, both Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi remain [very much on the periphery](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/liverpool-needed-someone-better-than-origi-and-minamino/jnygkhs7420h1sjp1evsfoba9) at Anfield.

Bringing in a fresh new face with [plenty of potential](https://fbref.com/en/players/501055d8/Karim-Adeyemi) such as Adeyemi may just rejuvenate the frontline and allow Klopp more flexibility in decision making.
