Napoli Trying to Clear Hurdles for Their Top Targets | OneFootball

Napoli are facing an unexpected issue in their pursuit of Karim Adeyemi, as the player isn’t thrilled to move midseason, while it wouldn’t be hard to come to terms with Borussia Dortmund. It’s the exact opposite of the Alejandro Garnacho deal, as they have shaken hands with the winger but haven’t come close to Manchester United’s request.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Partenopei will decide within the next couple of days whether to keep chasing the German star or move on. If he accepted, they’d spend €45/50M. On the other hand, he planned to stay at Borussia Dortmund this campaign and then head to the Premier League in the summer.

Napoli are waiting for a definitive response from Adeyemi and haven’t given up for Garnacho, Rai informs (via Tuttomercatoweb). They’d have a better shot at the Argentine if Manchester United acquired Patrick Dorgu, as they’d need some cash. Lecce continue to resist.

Instead, the Borussia Dortmund ace might be eyeing a transfer to Chelsea. The Blues are also keen on the other Partenopei target and have been in talks with his agent, who was spotted at Stamford Bridge in a recent match.

Our Take on Napoli, Adeyemi, and Garnacho

If the former isn’t totally sold despite a call with Antonio Conte, it won’t be long before the Azzurri give up the chase and focus on somebody else. The intensity of their coach goes both ways. Dan Ndoye wouldn’t be a splash but would be ideal tactically, but it looks like he’ll stay at Bologna. Perhaps they’ll be the ones to shower Lecce with gold for Dorgu.
