Adeyemi, who was not selected for the German national team’s World Cup squad, is set to make a move to the Spanish giants as they continue to upgrade their attack.
Surprisingly, Adeyemi has seen his role diminish at Dortmund and sporadically used in the second half of the season which led to his World Cup omission.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Thursday morning that the deal is ongoing however, as Barcelona look to add a second winger after finalizing a move for Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon.
“BREAKING: Karim Adeyemi agreed terms with Barcelona and informed BVB he only wants Barça move.
“Adeyemi, out of contract in June 2027 and not planning to sign new deal.
“Barcelona sent an official bid to BVB to get Adeyemi now, working to get it done.”
Interestingly, Barcelona boss Hansi Flick gave the 24-year-old his first senior Germany cap in 2021 and took him to the 2022 World Cup. Flick is said to be a huge admirer of Adeyemi and there is no doubt that he is a major force in making this summer deal come to life.
As well as Adeyemi, Barcelona are still chasing Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez, with reports stating that they will not give up their pursuit.
