Barcelona have made an offer for Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi as they continue to build their attack for next season, a source told ESPN.
World Cup 2026
Adeyemi, 24, is out of contract in 2027 and Barça are hopeful the versatile forward will be allowed to leave for a cut price fee this summer.
Barça have already reached a loose agreement with the player over personal terms, but remain in negotiations with Dortmund, with the source saying the deal is “not imminent” and “nothing has been signed.”
The Spanish champions’ pursuit of Adeyemi is independent of their hunt for a new No. 9, with Atlético Madrid’s Julián Álvarez still the club’s top target.
Match Details
ESPN first revealed in March that Barça were keen to shake up their front line this summer at the request of coach Hansi Flick after winning back-to-back LaLiga titles.
There have been significant exits already. Robert Lewandowski has joined the Chicago Fire on a free transfer and Marcus Rashford returned to Manchester United after his loan spell, while Ferran Torres has moved into the final year of his contract and Roony Bardghji could leave.
Meanwhile, Barça have already secured the signing of England forward Anthony Gordon in a €70 million ($80m) deal from Newcastle United, but they continue to chase reinforcements.
Tournament Impact
President Joan Laporta has confirmed they have made a bid for Álvarez, who has revealed he wants to leave Atlético, but the club also need more depth in the wide areas.
