Juventus have an offer ready for Aston Villa target Karim Adeyemi as they try to take the initiative in the race for the Borussia Dortmund man.

 

The German forward has attracted clubs with his performances in the previous two seasons and Dortmund are willing to sell.

 

Aston Villa have been linked with the 22-year-old versatile forward in the ongoing transfer window as Unai Emery tries to add to his squad.

 

 

It is Juventus who are leading the race though as they have put in substantial legwork before a deal.

 

The Old Lady have already held talks with Adeyemi’s father and it has been suggested that they will meet his father again.

 

 

According to Italian broadcaster Sky Italia, Juventus are preparing to offer a €35m bid with €10m in bonuses to Borussia Dortmund for Adeyemi.

 

The German winger had his fair share of injury absences last season but he still managed to rack up 34 all-competition appearances.

 

 

Juventus are hoping the offer will be enough to convince Dortmund and put them in pole position to sign Adeyemi.
