Barcelona submit bid for Nigerian-born German star as Flick rebuilds attack

The Blaugrana have taken a significant step in the summer transfer window after submitting an official offer for Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi.

According to reports, negotiations are advancing rapidly, with Barcelona's formal bid now on Dortmund’s table.

The report further suggest the 24-year-old winger has made Camp Nou his preferred destination, giving Hansi Flick a major boost as he looks to strengthen his attack ahead of the new season.

Barcelona’s interest in Adeyemi has now developed into concrete talks, with the club thrilled with the forward's ability to play across the frontline and score important goals.

Adeyemi, born to a Nigerian father but a German international, has a contract that expires in 2027 and has made it clear that he will not be signing an extension.

The move would represent a shrewd addition for Barcelona, bringing pace, versatility, and youthful energy to their frontline.

Crucially, this signing has no bearing on the club's desire to sign a top-level centre-forward as they continue to monitor the situation of top target Julian Alvarez at Atletico Madrid.

The Argentine forward is desperate to move to Barcelona, but agreeing a fee with Atleti has proved difficult, and this is a transfer saga that could last until the final days of the transfer window.
