Barcelona seal €22m deal for Karim Adeyemi with Borussia Dortmund, with add-ons part of the agreement
Barcelona have submitted an official bid to Borussia Dortmund for Karim Adeyemi, according to Spanish journalist Gerard Romero. The two clubs have agreed a €22m fee for the attacker, with a further €7m in potential add-ons, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
Adeyemi's departure from Dortmund would not come as a surprise, given the club's desire to offload players this summer. The 24-year-old winger has seen his role diminish under head coach Niko Kovac, and his market value of €40m makes him a valuable asset. Dortmund are seeking at least €33m, plus a cut of any future transfer, having paid Salzburg the same amount when they signed Adeyemi.
Barcelona boss Hansi Flick had previously attempted to sign Adeyemi for Bayern Munich in 2022, but lost out to Dortmund. Adeyemi's versatility, capable of playing on both wings and as a center-forward, could provide much-needed depth in the attack, particularly with Robert Lewandowski's departure and uncertainty surrounding Raphinha.
However, there are risks associated with signing Adeyemi, who has struggled with injuries and inconsistency during his time at Dortmund. If he can overcome these issues, his pace could be a valuable asset, and he may thrive under Flick's system. Napoli have also been rumored as a potential destination for Adeyemi, but Barcelona may have emerged as a suitable candidate.
