FC Barcelona has made significant progress in its pursuit of Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Karim Adeyemi after reaching a personal agreement with the player, while negotiations between the two clubs over the transfer fee continue.
According to reports from renowned transfer journalists Fabrizio Romano and Gerardo Romero, Adeyemi has made it clear that Barcelona is his preferred destination during this transfer window. The German international is said to have already agreed to personal contract terms with the La Liga giants, putting Barcelona in a strong position to complete the deal.
Reports indicate that Barcelona has already submitted an official offer to Borussia Dortmund, with the Bundesliga club currently evaluating the proposal before making a decision. Discussions are ongoing regarding the transfer fee, as Adeyemi remains under contract with Dortmund until 2027.
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is believed to have played a key role in convincing Adeyemi to move to Camp Nou. Flick reportedly held personal talks with the 24-year-old, outlining his role within the squad and the club’s plans for next season, which helped persuade the player to accept the move to Catalonia.
Adeyemi, 24, is known for his pace and versatility, with the ability to play on either wing as well as through the middle as a central forward. Barcelona believes he would provide a valuable boost to its attacking options ahead of the new season.
