Napoli Making Strides in Their Attempt to Add Adeyemi

Napoli have progressed quickly in their pursuit of Karim Adeyemi, as Borussia Dortmund won’t ostracize his sale like they did in the summer. It wouldn’t be hard for the two sides to agree to the fee if the player accepted the destination, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.

The attacker hasn’t yet, but Antonio Conte got to work and called him on Thursday. The coach explained his technical plans for him. The Partenopei will wait for a positive response before tabling a formal bid.

Napoli face competition from Chelsea for Adeyemi, but not for this window, as the Blues want him for June. Instead, the London outfit is advancing in their pursuit of Alejandro Garnacho after the Azzurri failed to meet Manchester United’s requests.

The Borussia Dortmund attacker would transfer for around €45/50M if he gave his go-ahead. He has totaled 19 goals and 13 assists in 79 matches with his current side since coming in from Salzburg for €22M in July of 2022. He has four caps and one goal with Germany.

The Partenopei are also regrouping after missing out on Danilo. They inquired about Fiorentina’s Marin Pongracic and Monza’s Pablo Mari. The latter is keen on transferring but asks for a two-and-a-half-year contract.

Our Take on Napoli and Adeyemi

He’s different from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but he’d be a lethal weapon nonetheless. It’d remain to be seen how long it’ll take Conte to trust him opposite David Neres, as Mattia Politano provides a ton of balance. Juventus thought they had him last summer too, but the obstacle was his team in that case.
