Barcelona have submitted an official bid to Borussia Dortmund for Karim Adeyemi and are now in talks over the winger's signing, according to Gerard Romero of Jijantes. The 24-year-old has already given his OK to the move, which adds a fresh twist to Barcelona's ongoing search for more help out wide.
The timing is notable because Barcelona were seemingly not done after their earlier move for Marcus Rashford and still want another winger. That need was easy to understand last season, when injuries to Raphinha and inconsistent performances from Rashford left Barcelona short on reliable options in the wide areas.
Adeyemi has been a regular presence for the German team over the last few years, and his profile gives Barcelona another pace-driven option if the deal moves forward. He also finished last season with Borussia Dortmund with 10 goals and 6 assists, a reminder that he can contribute in both scoring and creation.
What the move could mean
The transfer talk is also a reminder that Barcelona's wing picture may still be fluid. The report suggests Adeyemi's arrival could connect to possible exits, including uncertainty around Raphinha. That would make sense given the club's current need to balance depth, form and availability on the flanks.
Adeyemi's injury history also adds context. During the World Cup qualifying period referenced in the report, he missed out on Germany's squad because of injury. Even so, the interest from Barcelona shows that his talent and fit remain appealing as the club looks for another attacking piece.
For now, the key detail is simple: Barcelona have moved from interest to an official bid, and Borussia Dortmund are in active talks with the Spanish club. With Adeyemi already said to be open to the move, the next step will be whether the two clubs can agree on terms.
