Napoli’s sporting director, Manna, has confirmed that the Italian club had reached a preliminary agreement with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of forward Karim Adeyemi. However, the deal ultimately fell apart as Adeyemi expressed his desire not to join Napoli.

Failed Transfer Negotiations

Manna revealed that he had personally met with Adeyemi in Germany to discuss the potential move. Despite the initial agreement between the clubs, the transfer did not materialise due to Adeyemi’s reluctance to make the switch to Napoli.

According to Manna, Adeyemi has reportedly already committed to joining another club in July. The 23-year-old forward, who has been with Borussia Dortmund, has been a subject of transfer speculation, with Napoli previously showing strong interest in acquiring his services.
