Adeyemi's wife wants 'major' city move

According to BILD, Dortmund are in talks with the 23-year-old over a new contract that would include a release clause valued at around £70 million.

While negotiations continue, the same report claims Adeyemi has been advised by his wife, Loredana, to consider a move to a 'major European city' should he decide to leave the Bundesliga.

That preference has added a personal layer to an already busy transfer rumour cycle.

Manchester United have been mentioned as one of the interested clubs, with BILD previously reporting in November that the Premier League side had made contact with his representative, Jorge Mendes.

Inter Milan have also been credited with interest, with both destinations fitting the description of global cities that could appeal beyond football.

The winger has contributed steadily this season, recording eleven goal involvements across all competitions with six goals and five assists in 26 appearances, according to Transfermarkt.

As expected, the reports triggered a wave of reactions online. Some fans questioned the influence of off-field factors, while others took a more light-hearted view of the situation.

@Kobi_Elite_ warned:

"One guy marry he only play like 10mins He for dey gee."

@mawuli3363 aimed a dig at Adeyemi:

"The girl got herself a puppet."

@Adone0010 chimed in:

"Ah! village people have struck! oh! chim!"

@Ogaaga claimed:

"This one dey mad .."

Who is Karim Adeyemi's wife?

Loredana Zefi is a well-known hip-hop artist across Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, according to Tribuna.

Of Kosovan Albanian descent, the 29-year-old began taking music seriously after turning 18. She first built her craft by writing for

other musicians before stepping fully into the spotlight.

Her breakthrough came with the single Sonnenbrille, which topped charts in Albania and achieved gold status in Germany and Austria.

Loredana and Adeyemi started dating in early 2023 but kept their relationship private until May 2024.

In December that year, they confirmed their marriage by sharing photos of their wedding rings online with the caption “2.10.24.”

She was previously in a relationship with rapper Mozzik and has a daughter, Hana. As speculation continues, Adeyemi’s next move remains one to watch closely.
