Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Thursday that Barcelona formally offered to buy 24-year-old winger Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund and that talks between the clubs are under way.
- Adeyemi has told Dortmund he will not renew his contract, which runs to June 2027, and has expressed a preference to join Barcelona this summer.
- Negotiations are active but not complete and there is no signed agreement yet, with outlets warning the transfer is not imminent.
- Player representative Jorge Mendes is involved in talks and is reported to have close ties with Barcelona leadership, a factor said to smooth discussions.
- Sporting staff including Hansi Flick value Adeyemi’s pace and left-footed inside-cutting on the right, a profile that would add depth behind targets like Julián Álvarez and complement recent signing Anthony Gordon.
