According to a report from Sky Germany journalist Patrick Berger, FC Barcelona’s first offer to Borussia Dortmund for Karim Adeyemi is worth €2o million — a figure that could be considered paltry by BVB:
🚨🔵🔴 Update Karim Adeyemi: The first official Barca offer is around €20m according to Sky sources. #BVB will have a hard time getting the hoped-for €40m with only one year left on the contract. 💰
The amount once transferred to Salzburg for him (around €33m) should be the minimum. Plus solid resale
and bonus clauses. An agreement is being worked on …
Adeyemi has in principle agreed with Barca on a long-term contract. @SkySportDE
Berger’s Sky Germany colleague, Florian Plettenberg, added this context as well:
🚨🆕 Understand Roony Bardghji is a candidate to leave FC Barcelona this summer. Karim Adeyemi has been identified as his high-profile replacement. Hansi Flick has already spoken to Adeyemi by phone and convinced him of the project.
Barcelona value Adeyemi’s pace and versatility. The agreement between Barcelona and Adeyemi is 100% done.
The clubs are now in negotiations. The deal is expected to go through as Adeyemi has no intention of extending his contract beyond 2027. @SkySportDE
The 24-year-old, who racked up 1,836 minutes, 10 goals, and 6 assists across all competitions, is likely worth more than Barca’s first offer, but it would not be a negotiation if the Catalans just came is firing off their maximum bid.
How eager is BVB to sell Adeyemi — especially for a lower fee than it paid for him? That remains to be seen.
