Overview

• Adeyemi extended his scoring streak in the 2-0 win at Mainz, netting the opener and winning the foul that led to a red card for the hosts’ goalkeeper.
• Kehl outlined plans to “stretch” to retain standouts such as Adeyemi and Nico Schlotterbeck, while acknowledging exceptional bids could trigger sales.
• Adeyemi recently switched agents to Jorge Mendes and remains contracted through 2027, a combination fueling speculation despite Dortmund’s intent to keep him.
• With Serhou Guirassy sidelined, Brandt started in Mainz and delivered two first‑half assists after returning from a hand injury.
• Brandt’s deal expires next summer and English interest has been reported from Newcastle, Aston Villa and Tottenham, leaving Dortmund weighing a January sale, a free exit, or an extension if performances merit it.
