Barcelona have stepped up their efforts to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Karim Adeyemi after submitting an official offer for the Germany international as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.
The Catalan giants have opened talks with Dortmund over a possible transfer, with both clubs now discussing the financial details of a deal for the highly rated striker.
Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news, specifying that Barcelona has moved and is awaiting Dortmund’s response.
According to Romano, Adeyemi is also pushing for the transfer and has made Barcelona his favorite destination this summer.
Barcelona make the first move for Adeyemi
Barcelona’s interest in Adeyemi has now moved beyond initial inquiries, with the club formally submitting an offer to Borussia Dortmund.
Romano revealed on X that negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with Barcelona keen to complete the signing as soon as possible.
“BREAKING: Barcelona presents an official offer to Borussia Dortmund for Karim Adeyemi.
“Negotiations underway with BVB as reported by @gerarddromero.
“Adeyemi wants Barcelona to be the ONLY club to join this summer.
“Barça have made their offer and want Adeyemi now, waiting for BVB’s decision,” Romano wrote.
It is believed that the Spanish club see Adeyemi as a player capable of adding speed, creativity and attacking versatility to their team.
Adeyemi interested in Camp Nou change
The 24-year-old striker is reportedly attracted by the possibility of joining Barcelona and is waiting for both clubs to reach an agreement on the transfer fee.
Adeyemi’s ability to play in different attacking positions has made him a valuable asset for Dortmund, while his pace and direct style of play have attracted interest from several top European clubs.
A move to Barcelona would represent another important step in his career and give him the opportunity to compete regularly at the highest level of European football.
Dortmund have a crucial decision to make
Borussia Dortmund will now have to decide whether to accept Barcelona’s proposal or try to retain one of their key attacking players.
The Bundesliga side have a reputation for developing young talent and negotiating key transfers, but Adeyemi remains an important figure in their squad.
Since arriving from Red Bull Salzburg, the German striker has continued to improve, showing his qualities in domestic and European competitions.
Dortmund will likely consider both the financial benefits of a potential sale and the impact the loss of Adeyemi could have on their attacking options.
Barcelona continues to rebuild the team
Adeyemi’s pursuit comes as Barcelona continue efforts to strengthen their squad and maintain their competitiveness in Spain and Europe.
The club is looking for more attacking depth and younger options who can contribute immediately while also fitting into their long-term plans.
Adeyemi’s profile fits Barcelona’s recent recruitment strategy of targeting talented players with room for further development.
With negotiations ongoing, attention will focus on Dortmund’s response and whether both clubs can agree a transfer fee that would allow the Germany international to complete his move to Camp Nou.
