Overview
- Multiple transfer specialists reported late Friday that Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have reached a club-to-club agreement for Karim Adeyemi with the package widely described as about €22 million guaranteed plus roughly €7 million in performance add-ons.
- Adeyemi has agreed personal terms and is set to sign a five-year contract at Camp Nou pending a medical and the clubs’ formal announcement.
- Negotiations followed an opening Barca bid of around €20 million that Dortmund rejected while initially seeking roughly €33–€40 million, a gap narrowed by the player’s one year remaining on his Dortmund contract.
- Details vary between outlets on the exact add-on totals, sell-on percentage and reported wages, and reports say super-agent Jorge Mendes helped facilitate talks and Barca structured the deal to fit salary rules.
- Dortmund have begun looking at replacements, with reports linking them to Said El Mala, and the agreement will shape both clubs’ summer planning for squad moves and funding.
