Borussia Dortmund confirm signing of Red Bull Salzburg striker Karim Adeyemi in a massive blow to Manchester United - on the same day Dortmund forward Erling Haaland moved to Manchester City

Borussia Dortmund have announced the arrival of Karim Adeyemi, on the same day fellow striker Erling Haaland joined Manchester City.

City confirmed the signing of Haaland from Dortmund on Tuesday for just £51million, £12m less than his release clause, on a bumper five-year £385,000-a-week deal.

And the German side have already sorted out their replacement, with Red Bull Salzburg striker Adeyemi joining on a five-year deal.

According to football journalist Fabrizio Romano, the fee for the 20-year-old wonderkid is around £32.5m.

Manchester United reportedly made a last-ditch attempt to sign Adeyemi, but he rejected their £150,000-a-week contract offer, according to reports in Germany.
