​According to a report from transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have formally agreed a deal for German attacker Karim Adeyemi. Romano reports an exclusive development: Barcelona have reached an agreement to sign Karim Adeyemi, with the deal said to be close to completion. The arrangement is described as a club-to-club agreement worth about €22 million upfront, plus up to €7 million in add-ons tied to winning titles and appearances. Adeyemi reportedly preferred Barcelona and is set to sign a five-year contract in blaugrana.
Sky Germany’s Patrick Berger has corroborated the update, noting that Dortmund and Barcelona have reached a total agreement for Adeyemi, who is 24 and plays for Germany. Details from Sky Sport Deutschland include a fixed fee of €22 million and up to approximately €9 million in add-ons, which are described as highly achievable. The report also reveals that Dortmund secured a 35% sell-on clause, and that Adeyemi would earn around €6 million net per season on a five-year deal.
The initial word about the total agreement between the clubs appears to come from Romano’s accounts, with Barcelona president and coach potentially ensuring they have their target. Dortmund could be preparing for a markedly different look in the 2026/27 season as they anticipate Adeyemi’s arrival. The lingering questions then become whether BVB can assemble a lineup capable of challenging Bayern Munich in the upcoming Bundesliga campaign and how the club will allocate the funds from this transfer.
