Adeyemi was among the eighteen players who trained at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, located on the outskirts of Barcelona. He joined several first-team players, including Marc Andrรฉ ter Stegen, Wojciech Szczesny, and Ronald Araujo. A significant group of young players from the reserve and youth teams also participated, aiming to impress coach Hansi Flick for a spot on the upcoming preseason tour.
The team is preparing for its first preseason friendly, scheduled for Friday evening against Catalan club Europa. The match will be played behind closed doors without media coverage. Europa, currently in the Primera RFEF, is a historic Catalan football team that competed in the top division during its first three seasons (1928-1931).
