Karim Adeyemi has verbally agreed to personal terms with FC Barcelona, informing Borussia Dortmund that the Catalan club is his preferred destination. The German forward, entering the final year of his Dortmund contract expiring in June 2027, has told his current club he won’t be extending.

Barcelona has submitted an official bid for Adeyemi, with negotiations between the two clubs now ongoing. No transfer fee has been confirmed, and a club-to-club agreement remains elusive.

The club has been monitoring Adeyemi since 2021, with interest reportedly intensifying during the 2024-2025 season under coach Hansi Flick, who sees the forward as a key addition to Barcelona’s attack.

Dortmund knows that selling Adeyemi now, with one year left on his contract, is financially smarter than losing him for free next summer.

With no confirmed fee and negotiations still underway between Barcelona and Dortmund, this deal could still fall apart. Adeyemi’s preference is clear, but football transfers are notoriously fragile until contracts are signed.
