'What happens in summer happens' - Karim Adeyemi talks future amid Liverpool links

Karim Adeyemi has not made a decision on his future yet amid continued speculation linking him with a move away from Red Bull Salzburg in the summer.

Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund are among the clubs rumoured to be keen on the young forward, who has caught the eye for the Austrian outfit both domestically and in the Champions League this season.

Salzburg have developed a reputation for acquiring rising stars in recent years, with the likes of Erling Haaland, Dominik Szoboszlai and Hwang Hee-chan representing the club before moving on to more prestigious outfits.

Adeyemi looks set to be the next off that conveyor belt, with the 20-year-old notching 14 goals in all competitions this season, including three in the Champions League.

The youngster also scored on his Germany debut in September and has received a further two call-ups to the side.

Adeyemi looks set to go on and accomplish big things in the game, although he told reporters (h/t Metro ) that he's yet to make a decision on his next step.

"As I've said many times, my focus is on Salzburg," said the Salzburg sensation. "Nothing has been decided."

"What happens in summer happens in summer."

Adeyemi will test himself against some of the best players in Europe on Wednesday, as Salzburg host Bayern Munich in the Champions League last-16.

"Bayern is under pressure. We're motivated and want to win. We can make life difficult for Bayern with our quality and intensity.

"We're about to play our game against what is probably the best team in the world. We have that self-confidence working for us."

After signing Luis Diaz from Porto in January to strengthen their attacking options, it remains to be seen if Liverpool will add another forward player at the end of the campaign.
