Juventus approach Borussia Dortmund for Karim Adeyemi

Away from the preparation of the squad, the sporting director of the ‘Vecchia Signora’ Cristiano Giuntoli has travelled to Munich, where Karim Adeyemi's family and entourage live, to suggest that the ‘Bianconeri’ team are interested in the 22-year-old player.

This is how ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’ explains it, which points out that the German international is on tour with his club, Borussia Dortmund, and therefore has not taken part in these meetings. In any case, the player's family and agents are already aware of Juventus' interest in the player, but Borussia Dortmund, who have already declared him non-transferable in the words of Lars Ricken, will not let him leave for less than 40 or 45 million euros.

At the moment, the Vecchia Signora's priority is to reinforce Thiago Motta's squad with Teun Koopmeiners and Jean-Clair Todibo, but the Italian-Brazilian has also demanded a winger and Adeyemi is his strong preference for his debut season in Turin.

The Italian media also highlights the names of the possible alternatives to the former Salzburg player, which would be the Porto player Galeno and Adeyemi's former teammate at Borussia Dortmund Jadon Sancho. The ‘Vecchia Signora’ has no more space for non-EU players and that is why Galeno, who has a Portuguese passport, has an advantage over Jadon Sancho, who could arrive on loan from Manchester United, but in any case would not do so before the last days of the market.
