Juventus Reportedly Rekindle an Old Flame Up Front | OneFootball

Juventus are kicking the tires on Karim Adeyemi, whom they pursued a couple of times in the past already under a different management. His Borussia Dortmund exit isn’t certain, but it’s more likely than in the past since he has less time left on his contract, which runs out in 2027, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The Bundesliga giants might seize the chance to get full price on him this time around. The Bianconeri will sign another highly-rated striker on top of Jonathan David. The German international fits the mold of what their brass seeks, as he’s already established and experienced but still young-ish. His wages are feasible, while his price tag is €45/50M.

Juventus had a direct meeting with Adeyemi, his camp, and his family last August. His response was only lukewarm, and Borussia Dortmund had set a higher price tag at the time. In the end, there weren’t the conditions to do the deal.

Napoli also tracked the 23-year-old last summer and in January but couldn’t come to terms with all the parties involved in the operation. The Old Lady is turning back to him since Victor Osimhen is close to Galatasaray, and PSG are driving a hard bargain regarding Randal Kolo Muani.

Our Take on Juventus Eyeing Adeyemi

Signing somebody versatile would kill two birds with one stone. On the other hand, he’s far from cheap, and their new management has been very cautious so far, only bringing in the one player they couldn’t wait for; otherwise, he would have gone elsewhere. It’s possible nothing will happen until they resolve the Dusan Vlahovic dilemma and/or sell Nicolas Gonzalez to open up room and avoid an onerous logjam.
