Karim Adeyemi eyes Germany recall after joining Barcelona, hopes to work with Hansi Flick

German forward Karim Adeyemi has completed a transfer from Borussia Dortmund to FC Barcelona. He said he is excited to reunite with coach Hansi Flick, now in charge of the Catalan club, adding that Flick knows him well from their time together with the German national side. Adeyemi hopes that regular playing time and strong performances at Barcelona will improve his chances of being recalled to Germany’s squad for the 2026 World Cup. He has earned 11 caps for Germany and was part of the 2022 Qatar World Cup roster, but he acknowledges that selection will depend on his form rather than his new club status. Adeyemi also noted the competition for attacking places at Barcelona, mentioning teammates such as Lamina Yamal, but affirmed that he is not afraid of the challenge.
