​Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement for Karim Adeyemi to move from the Bundesliga to the Camp Nou, with the transfer valued up to €29 million. Barca will pay a €22 million fixed fee plus up to €9 million in add-ons that are regarded as highly achievable. Dortmund has also included a sell-on clause in the deal, though the exact percentage remains disputed. Sky Sports’ Patrik Berger reports a 35% sell-on clause, while Spanish outlets cite a 20% figure.
Details around Adeyemi’s compensation have also emerged. The winger is set to earn €6 million net per season and will sign a five-year contract with Barcelona. Adeyemi becomes Barcelona’s second signing of the summer, signaling the club’s ongoing activity in the transfer market. The Catalans, however, are not done yet and are continuing to pursue more additions.
Barcelona remains keen on bringing Julian Álvarez from Atlético Madrid and is expected to submit another bid for the Argentina international after the World Cup. In addition, Joao Cancelo is anticipated to join on a permanent basis from Al-Hilal following a successful loan spell, further strengthening the squad’s options on the right side and in attacking midfield.
Earlier discussions about signing a defender during the transfer window have cooled, with those talks going quiet in recent weeks. Despite that, Barcelona’s plan for the summer window shows a clear strategy to refresh the squad with high-caliber talent, balancing youth with seasoned professionals to maintain competitiveness on multiple fronts.
Adeyemi’s arrival adds to Barcelona’s growing list of summer targets as the club looks to reinforce its forward options and inject pace and versatility into the attack. If the deals for Álvarez and Cancelo come to fruition, Barcelona would boast a dynamic and varied attacking lineup capable of challenging domestic and European rivals. As negotiations continue, fans and analysts will watch closely to see how Barcelona navigates the complexities of add-ons, sell-on arrangements, and wage structures while aligning their financial strategy with sport-driven ambitions.
