Barcelona sign Karim Adeyemi for €29m as Flick's attacking rebuild continues

The transfer is structured around an initial €22 million fee, with an additional €7 million in performance-related add-ons.

As part of the agreement, the Bundesliga side has also secured a percentage clause on any profit Barça may generate from a future sale.

Adeyemi, 24, departs Dortmund after four seasons at Signal Iduna Park, where he registered 36 goals in 146 total appearances following his 2022 move from RB Salzburg.

The versatile forward becomes the La Liga champions' second major addition of the summer window, following the €70 million arrival of England winger Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United.

Barça head coach Hansi Flick heavily prioritized the acquisition of Adeyemi, a player he knows intimately after handing him his senior international debut during his tenure in charge of the German national team.

Adeyemi offers significant tactical flexibility to Flick's squad given his ability to operate comfortably across all three frontline positions.

Despite adding Adeyemi and Gordon to an already potent attacking line featuring Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Ferran Torres, reports indicate that Barcelona remain active in the market for an elite center-forward.

The Catalan club continue to keep close tabs on Manchester City's Julián Álvarez while monitoring Darwin Núñez's situation at Al-Hilal.
