Adeyemi leaves Dortmund! BVB agree deal with Barça | OneFootball

BVB star Karim Adeyemi is apparently on the verge of a move to FC Barcelona. Borussia Dortmund and the Catalans have agreed on the transfer fee.

Borussia Dortmund and FC Barcelona have apparently reached an agreement over the transfer of Karim Adeyemi. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the deal between the two clubs is in place, meaning the attacking player is expected to sign a long-term contract with the Catalans soon. Earlier, BVB had rejected an initial offer from the Spanish champions.

Barcelona will initially pay a fixed transfer fee of 22 million euros. A further seven million euros could be added through bonus payments, which are linked, among other things, to title wins and appearances by the 24-year-old. This keeps the total fee just below the 30-million-euro mark that had recently been seen as BVB’s possible minimum acceptable price.

Adeyemi’s contract in Dortmund only runs until 2027, and he is said to have recently turned down an extension. Instead, the Germany international reportedly viewed a move to the Spanish champions as his preferred option.

This likely brings the Adeyemi chapter at Borussia Dortmund to an end after four years. The Bundesliga club signed the forward from RB Salzburg in the summer of 2022 for around 30 million euros. Despite sometimes inconsistent playing time, the 24-year-old still made an impression last season with 16 goal contributions in 39 competitive appearances.

Adeyemi’s impending transfer marks another high-profile move between Borussia Dortmund and FC Barcelona. In the past, transfers such as Ousmane Dembélé’s move to Spain and the signings of Marc Bartra and Paco Alcácer also made headlines.
