Juventus' pursuit of Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi intensifies

According to Tuttosport, the 22-year-old German's stock has risen significantly, prompting Juventus' sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, to take decisive action in the transfer market.

Having established connections with Adeyemi's family and representatives, Juventus are reportedly in advanced talks.

The Italian club have received a positive response from Adeyemi, who is keen on a move to Turin and wearing the black and white jersey.

While some minor details remain to be ironed out with the player, the main points of a five-year contract, running until 2029, have been agreed upon. Adeyemi is set to earn $3.5 million annually, plus performance-related bonuses.

Juventus and Adeyemi's agents are expected to meet again soon to finalise these terms.

The more challenging aspect of the deal lies in negotiations with Dortmund. The German club are steadfast in their valuation of Adeyemi, demanding a fee of $50 million. Juventus, on the other hand, are looking to negotiate this figure down, exploring various avenues to reduce the price and make the deal feasible.

Navigating these negotiations will require patience and strategic planning from Juventus, as Dortmund are known for their strong bargaining position.

Nevertheless, Dortmund are open to selling Adeyemi, provided their financial conditions are met, as they aim to balance their books while still capitalising on their valuable asset.
