Juventus are preparing a significant €50 million bid to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi this summer according to Sport Bild.
The Italian giants have made the 23-year-old German winger a top priority as they look to strengthen their attacking options.

However, Borussia Dortmund have made it very clear that this offer will not meet their expectations. Club officials, including Lars Ricken and Sebastian Kehl, see Adeyemi as a central figure for their future plans.
Dortmund recently sold Jamie Bynoe-Gittens to Chelsea for €60 million. Having already lost one talented young attacker, they have no intention of selling Adeyemi in the same transfer window.

The club highlighted his importance during the Club World Cup in the United States, where he was heavily promoted in the media as a key player for their project.
Dortmund’s future for Karim Adeyemi
Dortmund are already planning talks with Adeyemi this winter regarding a new long-term contract. Although his current deal runs until 2027, the club wants to avoid the risk of negotiations dragging into the final year.
Adeyemi enjoyed a strong season, contributing seven goals and six assists in all competitions. He also ranked in the Bundesliga’s top ten for successful dribbles per 90 minutes.
With Bynoe-Gittens now gone and Julien Duranville sidelined through injury, Adeyemi’s role in the Dortmund attack becomes even more vital.
Unless an agreement is reached soon, Dortmund could be forced to sell next summer rather than risk losing him for free in 2027.

Juventus remain keen, but they may need to return with a much larger offer if they want to tempt Dortmund into negotiations. For now, Dortmund remain firm in their stance: Adeyemi is not for sale at €50 million.
