First enquiry made: Sky confirm Man Utd are utilising strong relationship with agent to pursue unsettled UCL starlet

Manchester United have approached Borussia Dortmund to check in on Karim Adeyemis uncertain situation.

As things stand, BVB are pushing to extend the attackers deal ahead of its 2027 expiry.

While it still gives them plenty of time to negotiate new terms, Dortmund will be sweating over the prospect of losing such a highly-rated attacker for absolutely nothing. He is currently valued at around £53 million by Transfermarkt, although the clubs valuation will undoubtedly be higher.

From Adeyemis perspective, he has little to no desire to continue working under head coach Niko Kovac amid a public fall-out with the manager.

Kovac hasnt shied away from expressing his frustrations over the players performances from the touchline and has dropped him from the starting XI for the last two Bundesliga outings.

Adeyemi has since enlisted the help of agent Jorge Mendes in hopes of securing either an improved contract with a release clause, worth around £70m, or a move elsewhere.

Mendes is no stranger around Old Trafford, and more recently facilitated both Leny Yoros and Manuel Ugartes transfers to the club.

The 23-year-old hasnt been at his best since the campaign got underway, returning just two goals and an assist in 11 league appearances.

He has had slightly more luck in the Champions League, though, having notched a goal and two assists in only four games.

Sky Sports Germanys Florian Plettenberg revealed last night that the Red Devils had made an inquiry over the Munich-born talent after obtaining information from Mendes much to Dortmunds dismay.
