And Cristiano Giuntoli is already working to try to build an even stronger Juventus. After securing David Hancko from Feyenoord, he’s now turning his attention to Borussia Dortmund’s attacking winger, Karim Adeyemi.
A turnaround on the horizon

A standout in the Champions League with 4 goals and 2 assists in 5 matches. Adeyemi is set to become one of the key figures in the next summer transfer market.
His decision to switch agents is directly related to this. Karim has chosen to entrust his interests to Roof, one of the world’s most important agencies. Juventus has taken note and aims to act swiftly because there will be stiff international competition for the German international.
Adeyemi has long been a target for Giuntoli, who had attempted to secure the player last summer without success. In January, Karim turned down a move to Napoli after the club had reached a preliminary agreement with Borussia Dortmund. Because he wasn’t ready to switch teams and leagues in the middle of the season.

Adeyemi – price tag?
The former Salzburg forward has a clear plan: to close his chapter with Borussia Dortmund on a high note before making his exit. The German club has already been informed of his intentions, and as a result, they have set his asking price: €45 million plus €5 million in bonuses. This message has been received loud and clear at Juventus headquarters.
With Juventus already identifying Adeyemi as a key player for the future, they are fully aware that competition will be fierce. Many top clubs across Europe will be watching him closely, and the club knows it must act swiftly to secure a deal before the price potentially rises even further. The upcoming summer transfer market promises to be a battlefield for this exciting young talent.
The forward, known for his speed and skill, would be a perfect fit for Juventus as they look to strengthen their attacking options. With a potential signing of this caliber, the Bianconeri could make a major statement of intent. Signaling their ambition to stay at the top of both Serie A and European football.
But securing Adeyemi won’t come easy. Whether Juventus can finally land him or face stiff competition from rivals, only time will tell … reports today news from Daniele Longo in CalcioMercato.
