The German champions have identified the teenage striker as a priority target ahead of the January transfer window
Bayern Munich are plotting a transfer swoop for Liverpool-linked starlet Karim Adeyemi, Goal and SPOX can confirm.
Adeyemi is attracting attention from top sides across Europe after a bright start to his career at Red Bull Salzburg, who snapped him up from German fourth-tier outfit SpVgg Unterhaching back in 2018.
Liverpool are among those being credited with an interest in the 19-year-old, but Bayern are hoping to win the race for his signature when the transfer window reopens.
The teenage striker took in a spell in Bayern’s youth ranks between 2010 and 2012, and they are eager to bring him back to the club as a potential long-term successor for Robert Lewandowski.
If a deal can be finalised in the winter market, the German giants are planning to send Adeyemi straight back to Salzburg on loan to continue his development.
He is being lined up for a role in Bayern’s senior squad from 2022-23 onwards, with the club wary of being short on attacking options if Kingsley Coman leaves Allianz Arena next summer.
