Overview
- Multiple Spanish and German outlets reported on Thursday that FC Barcelona has submitted an offer for Karim Adeyemi and that the player has a verbal agreement to join, while Borussia Dortmund has not issued official confirmation.
- Reports place Dortmund’s asking price and the likely fee roughly in the €40–50 million range with performance-related add-ons discussed between the clubs.
- Adeyemi is under contract until 2027 and has reportedly refused to extend, creating pressure on Dortmund to decide between a sale now or risking a free exit next year.
- The player is represented by Gestifute and Jorge Mendes, and reported salary demands above his current €6.5m a year are a key factor shaping talks and Dortmund’s willingness to keep him.
- Adeyemi’s recent drop in starts and market value after a season of frequent substitute appearances is cited as a reason Dortmund may sell, and a transfer would free funds to pursue incoming targets while reuniting the player with coach Hansi Flick at Barcelona.
