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.

Chelsea would love to sell Alejandro Garnacho this summer, and they might just get lucky if a Saudi team comes in for him.

Sunderland are trying to replicate their superb last summer, this time they’ve got their sights on players of an even stronger pedigree.

“Agreed terms” – Barcelona make bid for Arsenal & Man Utd transfer target, says Fabrizio Romano

Barcelona have reportedly agreed personal terms with Karim Adeyemi and have sent an official bid for the Borussia Dortmund winger.

That’s according to Fabrizio Romano, who says Adeyemi has made it clear he won’t sign a new deal at Dortmund and that he only wants the move to Barca.

The Germany international’s current contract expires in 2027, so BVB will likely be under pressure to accept a reasonable offer for him now, or else he could walk away on a free transfer in a year’s time.

Arsenal and Manchester United have also had an interest in Adeyemi in recent times, but it now looks like Barcelona have moved into pole position…

Will Premier League clubs regret missing out on Karim Adeyemi?

Adeyemi looks like an exciting signing for Barcelona after impressing during his time in the Bundesliga, and it’s perhaps a surprise that Premier League clubs didn’t go in more strongly for him.

The 24-year-old finished last season with ten goals and six assists in total, and looks like he’ll end up moving for relatively cheap in what is widely seen as a really inflated market at the moment.

Arsenal and United have been among the English clubs to consider Adeyemi, but for one reason or another it seems he wasn’t a priority for them.

The Gunners could really do with someone of his pace and skill in their front three, though, while MUFC might benefit from more depth in that department, even if it perhaps makes sense for them to focus on other areas of their squad first.
