Barcelona are set to be busy this summer once things get going. They’ve already signed Anthony Gordon, and it seems they want yet more pace.
News broke last night about a player they want – and Fabrizio Romano is on the scene today to add more information:
“Barcelona are going all in… Karim Adeyemi is really, really close to joining” the Italian insider said.
“[Barcelona manager] Hansi Flick knows Adeyemi really well and has approved the signing… they see potential in Adeyemi.
“Barcelona see potential in the player… also financial potential… the contract is done, sealed, 5 year contract. Adeyemi wants to go to Barcelona… he’s not negotiating with any other club.”
Dortmund and Barcelona in talks over speedy attacker’s transfer fee
As Romano makes clear, the deal between Adeyemi and Barca is done. It’s just a question of agreeing a transfer fee with Dortmund.
The German club know that the 24 year old’s contract with them expires in a year, so they will likely accept a pretty reasonable fee. We don’t expect any of this to take long, and Romano could be telling us in the next day or two that a fee has been agreed.
