Barcelona has reportedly locked in a deal to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi, with the player set to ink a five-year contract with the Catalan club. The transfer fee is understood to be €22 million, potentially rising to €29 million with add-ons based on appearances and title wins.
Renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed the agreement on X, stating, "EXCLUSIVE: Barcelona agree deal to sign Karim Adeyemi, HERE WE GO! Deal agreed club to club for €22m plus €7m add-ons based on title winning and also appearances. Adeyemi only wanted Barça and will sign a five year deal in blaugrana."
This move comes as Barcelona potentially prepares to offload Ferran Torres, who could depart for approximately €35 million. Adeyemi's arrival appears to be a strategic move to bolster the team's attacking options and fill the potential void left by Torres.
Adeyemi, 24, had a productive 2025/26 season, contributing ten goals and six assists for Dortmund. His relatively low total cost of €29 million, especially if balanced by Torres's sale, suggests shrewd business by Barcelona.
While Torres has been a dependable squad member, Adeyemi brings youth and potential for future growth under manager Hansi Flick, whose track record of player development at the Nou Camp is noteworthy.
