At FC Barcelona, the Julian Alvarez file still monopolizes discussions, but the Blaugrana leaders continue to discreetly advance on other avenues to strengthen themselves. After surprising everyone by completing the arrival of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle for a crazy amount of 70 million euros, Barça was getting closer to a new move to strengthen its squad by being in advanced discussions for Borussia Dortmund winger, Karim Adeyemi (24 years old).
Arriving at the end of his contract in 2027, the German international (11 caps, 1 goal), was the subject of an offer of 20 million euros, excluding bonuses, from the Blaugrana. A first approach refused by the BvB. But according to Sportthe two clubs have now agreed on an operation estimated at 22 million euros, to which can be added €7 million in bonuses linked in particular to the titles won and the number of appearances of the player. The German international, who only had one destination in mind, will sign a five-season contract with FC Barcelona.
A second reinforcement for Barça
Author of 10 goals and 6 assists in 39 games last season, Adeyemi did not fully meet the expectations placed on him at Dortmund, but his profile greatly appeals to Hansi Flick. For his part, the German player had already given his agreement to join the ranks of FC Barcelona and strengthen the squad to numerically replace Marcus Rashford, back with the Red Devils, while Robert Lewandowski and Ansu Fati also left the club this summer.
After Anthony Gordon and the definitive transfer of Joao Cancelo which are becoming clearer, the Blaugrana continue to rely on explosive profiles compatible with the demands of Hansi Flick. For Karim Adeyemi, long followed by the Catalan club since his years at Red Bull Salzburg, this is an ideal opportunity to relaunch his career under the Blaugrana colors, where he will therefore sign for the next five seasons. The Barça transfer window is progressing, with Julian Alvarez still in his sights.
