The latest signings of FC Barcelona could soon include Karim Adeyemi, a 24-year-old German forward from Borussia Dortmund. The clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of 22 million euros fixed plus 7 million in variables, while the player is already thinking about his new phase in Barcelona.

The deal still needs the completion of paperwork and the institutional announcement. Adeyemi has already passed the medical examination, and the agreement includes a five-season contract until June 30, 2031.

FC Barcelona reaches an agreement with Borussia Dortmund

The FC Barcelona has moved forward after several discussions with the German club. The deal includes 22 million fixed, another seven million linked to sporting objectives, and a 20% of the capital gain from any future sale.

This formula allows Barça to keep the initial outlay below the market value of the forward, estimated at around 40 million euros. Dortmund, on the other hand, retains the possibility of an additional income if Adeyemi's value increases and he is transferred later on.

The Borussia Dortmund also needed to assess the duration of Adeyemi's contract. The German's contract was set to end in June 2027, and negotiations to extend it had not reached an agreement, so this summer provided the last chance to make a sale without entering the final contractual year.

Adeyemi had already expressed his willingness to leave and placed Barça as a priority. The understanding between the player and the Catalan entity was already underway before the clubs finalized the transfer amounts.

Karim Adeyemi finished the last season with 10 goals and six assists in 39 matches. Three of those goals were scored in the Champions League, a competition where Barça has already seen his ability to exploit spaces.

His addition responds to the request of Hansi Flick, who had already worked with the forward in the German national team. The coach seeks to add an option for both wings and increase the alternatives in a squad that also includes Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and the other available forwards.

Adeyemi's speed allows him to play from the wing or move towards central positions. This versatility influenced the planning of the FC Barcelona signings, as they sought a forward capable of changing positions without necessitating a system change.

The medical examination was crucial due to the muscular problems suffered by the player in previous seasons. The German passed the tests conducted in Barcelona, so that procedure no longer obstructs the operation's closure.

Adeyemi's arrival may also trigger movements in the current squad. The surplus of forwards reduces space for players with fewer minutes and forces the sports management to consider departures before the market closes.

The next step will be to complete the transfer documentation and formalize the agreed five-year contract. Once this process is done, the club can announce the forward and definitively include him in the preseason training.

Barring any administrative setbacks, FC Barcelona will close the arrival of Karim Adeyemi for a maximum of 29 million euros. The agreement with Borussia Dortmund is on track, and the official announcement represents the final pending move of the operation.
