Barcelona continue their summer business as they look to strengthen their attack before the new season kicks off after the FIFA World Cup. The La Liga champions have reportedly made an offer to Borussia Dortmund to sign Karim Adeyemi. As Marcus Rashford leaves after an impressive loan spell, Hansi Flick is on the hunt for a replacement. Adeyemi, a product of the SpVgg Unterhaching academy, has impressed with his consistency at Dortmund. He has already agreed to a potential move to Barcelona, who are currently negotiating his transfer fee with the German club.

It has been a busy summer for the Catalan side. They have already secured the signature of England winger Anthony Gordon and remain in pursuit of Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez. Flick would also try to bolster his defence ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. 

Karim Adeyemi Shows Thumbs-Up To Barcelona Offer

The 24-year-old German international is known to be an admirer of Barcelona. After rumours of his potential move surfaced, a childhood photo of Adeyemi donning the Barca kit and standing outside the Camp Nou came to light, making fans believe that the deal would be capitalised on. He has already agreed to the personal terms and now awaits a green signal from Borussia Dortmund.

As revealed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, negotiations are underway between the two clubs and the final decision could be made in the near future. Adeyemi was not part of the German squad that featured in the World Cup this year, but Flick has shown faith in his potential. However, a starting role in this star-studded Barcelona side looks unlikely for him.

Will Barcelona continue to chase Alvarez if the Adeyemi deal is done?

Recent reports suggest that Alvarez still remains under Barcelona’s radar, despite advanced talks with Adeyemi. It has been a dramatic transfer saga, with Atletico Madrid blocking offers from their La Liga rivals. However, Alvarez has already made his intention clear about leaving the club this summer. Despite the turbulence. Barcelona are hopeful about making it possible.
