The 24-year-old has signed a five-year contract that will keep him at the Catalan club until June 2031, becoming Barcelona’s second major addition of the summer after the arrival of Anthony Gordon.

Adeyemi joins a Barcelona side looking to rebuild its frontline following Robert Lewandowski’s departure and the conclusion of Marcus Rashford’s loan spell. Known for his blistering speed and versatility across the attack, the German forward arrives after an impressive four-year spell at Borussia Dortmund, where he found the net 36 times in 146 appearances.

His time in Germany also included a memorable run to the 2024 UEFA Champions League final, a campaign that further established him as one of Europe’s most exciting attacking talents.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Lars Ricken explained that the transfer came after Adeyemi informed the club of his desire to begin a new chapter in Spain. With the forward entering the final year of his contract, Dortmund agreed that the move was in everyone’s best interest.

He stated:

“Karim has been an important part of Borussia Dortmund for the past four years. We reached the Champions League final with him in 2024. Nevertheless, this summer we agreed that both Karim and we wanted to pursue different paths in the future. When Karim approached us with the desire to move to FC Barcelona, we agreed after considering all of Borussia Dortmund’s interests. We wish Karim and his family all the best for the future.”

Adeyemi also took time to bid an emotional farewell to the club where he spent the last four seasons, expressing gratitude to his teammates, the management and supporters who stood by him throughout his journey.

He said:

“I would like to thank Borussia Dortmund for four fantastic years. To the club, my team-mates, and the fans who made every game special with their support. I wish BVB all the best for the future.”

The move also reunites Adeyemi with Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who handed the forward his senior Germany debut in 2021. That existing relationship is expected to ease his transition into Flick’s tactical setup as Barcelona prepare for another demanding campaign.

Capable of playing both on the wing and through the middle, Adeyemi provides valuable flexibility in attack, while the club reportedly continues its pursuit of Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez.

With another key signing secured, Barcelona’s attention now shifts to finalising preparations for the 2026/27 season as the Spanish champions gear up to defend their La Liga title.

Borussia Dortmund player, Karim Adeyemi has revealed the secret to his pace whenever he plays the game.

The player stated that the secret to how he became so fast is African dishes, especially fufu.

At Signal Iduna Park, the German striker of Nigerian descent scored the lone goal for Dortmund against Chelsea in the round of 16 first-leg match.

The brilliant solo goal was scored by 21-year-old Adeyemi, who took up the ball in his own half, raced practically the entire field, outpacing Enzo Fernandez along the way, and then around the goalie to score into an empty net.

The speedster, Adeyemi, stated in a post-game interview with CBSSportGolazo that he consumes a unique Nigerian dish that increases his speed.

“I eat a lot of African foods,” he explained.

“I have good genetics from my dad so I think it will be difficult.

Pressed as to the exact food he eats, Adeyemi responded, “It is called fufu, and it’s a Nigerian food which is very good.” he revealed.

Asked specifically if he was the fastest player in Germany, he laughed and said: “I don’t know.”

“But it’s one thing I can do good but the other players can also do other stuff better.”
