Adeyemi penalty order: Nagelsmann reacts at press conference

Ahead of the German national team’s decisive World Cup qualifier against Slovakia (Monday, 8:45 p.m.), a topic related to Karim Adeyemi is causing quite a stir. The DFB and BVB professional is under judicial pressure: a sanction order has been issued against him for alleged possession of illegal weapons. Both ‘Bild’ and ‘WDR’ constantly report on this.

A duster and an electroshock device (taser), both prohibited under German weapons law, were reportedly found in his possession. The Hagen prosecutor’s office imposed a fine of 450,000 euros, calculated in 60 daily rates of 7,500 euros each. The sanction order reportedly acquired legal force on October 30, 2025.

National coach Julian Nagelsmann reacted cautiously at today’s press conference. When asked, the 38-year-old confirmed that he had spoken to Adeyemi and that it was “fine”, but did not go into further detail.

“This is a topic that takes up space and time,” Nagelsmann explained, asking for understanding, since “honestly, as a coach, before a game like this, you have neither. The topic, before such an important game for all of us and for German football, is a little too big. That’s why I won’t comment on any further questions, no matter in which direction.”

Nagelsmann assured, however, that the case would not be set aside and that the DFB would “take care of this matter after the match.”
