Recent reports suggest that Juventus is rekindling its interest in Borussia Dortmund`s German international Karim Adeyemi. The potential transfer hinges on both clubs` Champions League status for the 2025-26 season.
Currently, Juventus holds the fourth position in Serie A with two matches remaining. They face stiff competition from Lazio, Roma, and Bologna for the coveted Champions League spots. Meanwhile, Dortmund sits fifth in the Bundesliga, trailing Freiburg by a single point with one game left in the 2024-25 season.
The uncertainty surrounding Dortmund`s Champions League qualification has put Adeyemi`s future with the club in question. Juventus sees this as an opportunity, provided they secure their own Champions League berth.
Adeyemi, 23, is under contract with Dortmund until 2027, earning approximately €3 million per season. Juventus is reportedly prepared to increase this figure if a deal can be struck in the upcoming transfer window.
The young German international has impressed this season, contributing 12 goals and 9 assists in 35 appearances across all competitions. His performance has caught the attention of other clubs as well, with Napoli and Chelsea also expressing interest.
As the season draws to a close, all eyes will be on the final Champions League standings, which could significantly influence Adeyemi`s future and Juventus` transfer plans.
