Barcelona completes €22m signing of winger Karim Adeyemi
FC Barcelona have secured German international Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund for a base fee of €22 million, with performance‑related bonuses that could raise the total to €29 million. The 24‑year‑old signed a five‑year contract and is expected to provide pace and width on the right flank, complementing players such as Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
The deal follows Barcelona’s earlier €80 million acquisition of Anthony Gordon, bringing the club’s summer spending on forwards to €109 million. The club structured the payment to meet La Liga’s financial regulations, combining a fixed amount with variable bonuses tied to league titles and appearances. Internally, the signing has sparked concerns among existing attackers, with reports that winger Ferran Torres may see his role reduced and is reportedly exploring a move to Paris Saint‑Germain.
Adeyemi is set to join pre‑season training immediately, adding depth to a squad that is actively reshaping its attacking options.
