The transfer market never truly rests, and Juventus are already laying the groundwork for a stronger squad ahead of the summer window. Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli is focusing on Borussia Dortmund’s talented winger, Karim Adeyemi, as the Italian club looks to bolster its attacking options.
Calciomercato report how Karim Adeyemi has been a standout performer in the Champions League, tallying four goals and two assists in just five matches this season. His recent decision to switch agents and join Roof, one of the world’s leading sports agencies, signals his readiness for a potential move in the upcoming transfer window. This development has caught the attention of Juventus, who are keen to act quickly amidst growing international competition.
Giuntoli has long admired Adeyemi and even attempted to bring him to Italy last summer without success. The 22-year-old German international turned down a mid-season move to Napoli earlier this year, preferring to see out the season with Borussia Dortmund. However, Adeyemi has reportedly informed his current club of his intention to leave after this season, prompting Dortmund to set an asking price of €45 million plus €5 million in bonuses.
With Adeyemi’s contract running until 2027, Juventus will face stiff competition from other European heavyweights, including Premier League clubs like Chelsea. Nevertheless, Giuntoli is leveraging strong relationships with Adeyemi’s camp to gain an edge in negotiations.
Adeyemi’s plan is clear: finish his tenure at Borussia Dortmund on a high note before seeking new challenges. Despite a mixed second season with the German club, he remains a key player and has shown flashes of brilliance that make him an attractive prospect for top clubs.
For Juventus, securing Adeyemi would align with Giuntoli’s vision of blending youth and experience to rebuild the squad. As the summer approaches, all eyes will be on whether Juventus can outmaneuver their rivals and bring this promising talent to Turin.
