Karim Adeyemi of Borussia Dortmund was on the verge of joining Napoli during the January transfer window, which would have cost Juventus a top target for the Partenopei. He's been pursued by Juventus for a while, and the Old Lady views him as one of their top winger targets. They were unable to pay for him at the beginning of the season, so they signed Francisco Conceicao on loan. The Portuguese star has been playing well, but Adeyemi is still on Juventus' shopping list as they look to add additional wingers.

During the most recent transfer window, he was quite close to joining Napoli. Napoli and Borussia Dortmund had already agreed on a transfer cost, according to Fabrizio Romano, but Adeyemi turned them down. "The deal between Napoli and Borussia Dortmund for Adeyemi was total; it was the player who refused the Azzurri," Romano stated, as cited by Tuttomercatoweb.
