Adeyemi hit a brilliant hat trick during Dortmund’s crushing 7-1 win over Celtic on Tuesday.

The German found the net three times before the break as the Scottish champions wilted in front of the Yellow Wall.

According to BILD, Liverpool have already had scouts watching Adeyemi in the Bundesliga this season.

The outlet claims he could be the successor to Mo Salah, whose contract expires on Merseyside next summer.

Liverpool would have to stump up around £42.6million to land the whizkid, per the report.

But Adeyemi has indicated he is enjoying his football at Dortmund, where is contracted until 2027.

The youngster was on the books at Bayern Munich as a boy, before moving to Red Bull Salzburg in Switzerland.

Dortmund snapped up the exciting winger for a reported fee of £24million in 2022.

Following Tuesday’s heroics, Adeyemi told BILD: “I feel great here in Dortmund.

“I was already a big fan as a little boy.”

Asked about his hat-trick performance, he added: “I had a good start.

“I set myself to get at least one goal. Today, every shot went in.”

Former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers could only watch on helpless as Celtic crumbled.

Rodgers admitted: “It was a tough watch.

“Nights like that are tough but they can happen at this level. You have to learn from it and move on.

“We came in high on confidence but we needed to start the game much better than we did.”

Liverpool welcome Bologna tonight as they look to make it two wins from two in his year’s Champions League.

Arne Slot’s side had too much for AC Milan last time out, recording a 3-1 win at the San Siro.

Last month, Salah dropped his biggest hint yet that the 2024-25 season would be his last in Liverpool red.

He told Sky Sports: “I had a good summer, I had a long time to stay with myself and try and think positive because as you know it’s my last year in the club.

“I just want to enjoy it and I don’t want to think about it. I feel I am free to play football and we will see what happens next year.”
