Barcelona Sign Karim Adeyemi on Five‑Year Deal

Hansi Flick's clear interest brings the pace and positional versatility the coach wanted to bolster Barça's attack.

Overview

  • The club announced the transfer on Thursday, July 23, completing a five‑year contract that runs to 30 June 2031 and formally presenting Adeyemi at the Camp Nou.
  • Barcelona paid a reported €22 million fixed plus about €7 million in variables and Borussia Dortmund kept a sell‑on share, with outlets variably reporting that share at roughly 20–30 percent.
  • Adeyemi is a 24‑year‑old German international who played four seasons at Borussia Dortmund with roughly 146 appearances, 36 goals and 25 assists, and he brings elite straight‑line speed and positional flexibility.
  • At his presentation Adeyemi said Flick was decisive in his choice to join, and he completed his first full training session with the first team at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper on Friday.
  • The signing gives Barça an extra option on the wings and as a secondary striker, increases competition for minutes for players like Roony Bardghji, and leaves the club still pursuing a primary centre‑forward.
