Juventus tried to sign Karim Adeyemi last summer but couldn’t find a way to convince Borussia Dortmund to sell their ace. He’s gotten off to a fast start, scoring twice and providing two assists in the first two matches of the season.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Bianconeri are unlikely to revisit such a pursuit due to their recent investments and because of his burgeoning price tag. They attempted to bring him in on an initial loan with an option or an obligation to buy but to no avail.
If Adeyemi keeps it up, he’ll likely head to the Premier League rather than to Juventus. In particular, Manchester United and Newcastle United are keeping tabs on him. They might lodge large offers in January already.
The German attacker would have likely played on the right flank since Thiago Motta has mostly been using inverted wingers. They signed Nico Gonzalez, with the formula they desired, and Francisco Conceiçao, on a straight loan, instead. In the end, they elected not to bring in a new man on the left, trusting Kenan Yildiz and Samuel Mbangula.
Our Take on Juventus and Adeyemi
He would have been a sexy purchase but it’s not much of a regret as it would have taken a Teun Koopmeiners-sized bid to acquire him. They had the resources for just one of those and utilized them on somebody they were more comfortable with. Gonzalez isn’t as flashy but is a solid contributor.
