Karim Adeyemi back on Germany's radar after his start at Barcelona | OneFootball

Karim Adeyemi could have a new opportunity with the Germany national team. The Barcelona forward is reportedly in Jürgen Klopp’s plans for his first squad as head coach, according to Sky Sport Germany.

The attacker had been away from the Mannschaft for almost a year. His last appearance came on October 13, 2025, when Germany beat Northern Ireland 0-1.

After that, Julian Nagelsmann stopped calling him up, and Adeyemi was also left out of the squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Now, his move to Barcelona and his strong start to the season could reopen the doors to the national team.

A return Adeyemi had been seeking for some time

Adeyemi made his Germany debut on September 5, 2021, when he was just 19 years old. It could not have gone better: he scored one of the goals in the 6-0 thrashing of Armenia, during Hansi Flick’s spell as head coach.

However, that appearance did not lead to the continuity many had expected.

After losing prominence with the senior side, the attacker found a new opportunity with the under-21 team. In 2024, he regained importance during qualification for the European Championship and scored five goals in three matches.

His performances allowed him to return to Nagelsmann’s plans in 2025, going on to play in the Nations League quarterfinals against Italy, the semifinals against Portugal, and the third-place match against France.

His role remained secondary, and he later disappeared from the call-ups again.

The outcome was especially harsh: Adeyemi was left out of the 2026 World Cup.

Barcelona could be his great showcase

The picture changed this summer with his signing for Barcelona.

The Blaugrana paid Borussia Dortmund €22 million fixed plus add-ons for the attacker, who brought an end to a four-season spell in Germany after making 146 appearances, with 36 goals and 24 assists.

At Barcelona, moreover, Hansi Flick has given him a prominent role from the outset.

Adeyemi has responded with goals in both of his starts and also found the net in his most recent appearance against Levante. His pace, dribbling, and ability to attack space have made him an important option in Barça’s attack.

Although he is not yet an undisputed starter, the player himself admits that the competition at Barcelona is enormous.

Klopp could give him a new chance

Jürgen Klopp’s arrival as Germany head coach could represent a fresh start for Adeyemi.

The forward had been out of the Mannschaft for virtually a year, but his early performances for Barcelona appear to have put him back on the radar.

Klopp is reportedly willing to give him a chance in his first squad, a decision that could allow Adeyemi to begin a new chapter with Germany and leave behind the difficult period that caused him to miss the last World Cup.

After years of ups and downs with the national team, Barcelona could become the showcase he needed to definitively reclaim his place in Germany
