'Unfair on my girlfriend' - Borussia Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi hits back at critics of his relationship with Albanian rapper Loredana amid struggles for form in 2023-24

The Germany international forward has been dating Albanian music star Loredana since the summer of 2023, with the pair first spotted together in July of last year. Adeyemi has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/faster-than-usain-bolt-could-borussia-dortmund-karim-adeyemi-2024-olympic-games/blt0a5fa8ed1a892be9" target="_blank">failed to produce his best on the field</a> since then, and appreciates why life in the public eye with a famous girlfriend is going to lead to inevitable questions of his focus.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Adeyemi has, however, told Dortmund’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8he-kKZs4I0" target="_blank">official YouTube channel</a> of why no fingers should be pointed in any other direction than at him: “I knew what I was getting myself into, that she was a person in the public eye, but I found it crazy that people react like that after a bad game. Not unfair against me because I didn’t play well. It's unfair to my girlfriend. It has nothing to do with how I play and perform on the pitch. Sometimes I find it strange how some people take the liberty of judging people they don’t know.”

WHAT ADEYEMI SAID

Adeyemi has started just three Bundesliga games for Dortmund this season and has not figured at all since December 13 due to injury. He added on his struggles: “It wasn’t a good first half of the season. I’m not happy with myself.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Things are not about to get any easier for Adeyemi when it comes to making his mark in 2023-24 as Dortmund have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/borussia-dortmund-return-jadon-sancho-man-utd-outcast-first-transfer-discussion/bltd5b1f7a3790d1400" target="_blank">added more creativity to their ranks in the form of Jadon Sancho</a> – with the England international returning to Signal Iduna Park on loan from Manchester United.
