Catalan giants Barcelona complete transfer of Adeyemi from German club Borussia Dortmund in €29m deal

Dortmund's German forward Karim Adeyemi was seen celebrating at the end of the German first division Bundesliga football match between FC Augsburg and Borussia Dortmund on October 31, 2025, a game that Dortmund won 1-0.

n

On Thursday, Barcelona signed forward Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund for a reported fee of 29 million euros ($33 million) including potential add-ons, marking a significant transfer deal.

n

According to Barcelona, Adeyemi will be a part of the team for the next five seasons, with his contract set to expire on June 30, 2031, as announced in a statement by the club.

n

The 24-year-old forward is a versatile player who can play in multiple positions, including up front or on either flank, and his addition strengthens Barca's attacking options following the departure of Robert Lewandowski.

n

Barcelona had recently lost Marcus Rashford after his loan from Manchester United ended, leaving a gap in their attack that Adeyemi's signing helps to fill.

n

The Spanish champions are also pursuing Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez, who is their primary target this summer, and have made a bid for his services.

n

Barca coach Hansi Flick has a history with Adeyemi, having given him his debut for the German national team in 2021, and will now be working with him at the club level.

Adeyemi joined Dortmund in 2022 from Red Bull Salzburg and went on to score 36 goals in 146 games across all competitions during his four seasons with the team before making the switch to Barca.
