Juventus Get in Touch with Hot Bundesliga Prospect
Despite putting the brakes on their quest to sign Karim Adeyemi earlier in July, Juventus haven’t given up their pursuit of the Borussia Dortmund starlet. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Italian heavyweights made ‘direct’ contact with the winger’s camp on Wednesday to explore the possibility of luring him to Turin.
Juventus have been on Adeyemi’s trail since June. However, with plenty of incomings and outgoings at the Allianz Stadium in the early summer, Thiago Motta’s men temporarily hit the pause button on the youngster’s inquiry. By the looks of things, Adeyemi’s name is back in fashion.
Widely considered one of the most prodigious forwards in European football, the 22-year-old would be a massive coup for Juventus. But after acquiring the services of Khephren Thuram, Douglas Luiz, and Michele Di Gregorio, the Bianconeri must sort out several departures before opening talks with Borussia Dortmund.
Therefore, the clubs have yet to meet. Die Borussen will undoubtedly ask for a significant figure to sanction their jewel’s exit, especially after he established himself as an indispensable first-team star toward the end of last season. As for Juventus, they’ll always angle for a discount.
Cristiano Giuntoli is working around the clock to offload Matias Soule. The Argentine prodigy’s transfer should pour around €30 million into the club’s coffers. It would, in turn, enable Juventus to pitch Dortmund with a tangible proposal for Adeyemi.
Juventus rebuffed Roma’s opening bid for their wantaway ace. But there’s a feeling it’s only a matter of time before Soule joins Daniele De Rossi’s squad.
