Borussia Dortmund is in deep crisis after the recent 2-4 disgrace at Holstein Kiel. Winter transfers are needed in order to save Westphalia’s messed up season so far in the second half of the season. However, rumors are now making the rounds that another top performer could flee BVB in the winter.
Because according to “Sky”, the Serie A club SSC Napoli is showing strong interest in signing the winger, who is under contract at the Westfalenstadion until 2027. The traditional club from the foot of Vesuvius is preparing for the impending departure of superstar Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who will probably move to PSG.
According to the pay-TV broadcaster, the top Italian club is said to have already contacted the Adeyemi camp. The first discussions have already taken place, it goes on to say. However, the BVB star is not the only candidate whose commitment is currently being examined by SSC Napoli.
BVB: Adeyemi was already a candidate for departure in the summer
In addition to the German international, Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United, Bayern’s Mathys Tel and the East Westphalia-born Kosovo international Edon Zhegrova (OSC Lille) are also expected to play a role in the 2023 champions’ considerations. The latter is considered the favorite to claim the Georgian international’s great legacy, according to Sky.
The loss of Adeyemi, who came to the black and yellow from RB Salzburg in 2022 for 30 million euros, would be a bitter blow for BVB in the current phase. With Donyell Malen, the Westphalians have already let go of an important offensive player. According to consistent media reports, they want to increase the number of players on the outside lanes.
A departure of the 22-year-old would further aggravate the personnel situation on the wing. There had already been increasing farewell rumors about Adeyemi last summer. The flirtation with Juventus Turin is said to have been particularly hot.
