FC Barcelona has officially welcomed Karim Adeyemi, signing the young striker from Borussia Dortmund on a five-season deal that runs until 2031. The Catalan club announced the transfer on Thursday.

Adeyemi, 24, becomes Barcelona's second signing of the summer, following the arrival of England international Anthony Gordon from Newcastle. While Barcelona has not disclosed the transfer fee, local reports suggest the deal is worth approximately 22 million euros (around $25 million), with an additional 7 million euros (about $8 million) in potential add-ons.

The German forward will work again with coach Hansi Flick, who first called him up to the German national team in September 2021. Adeyemi, capable of playing as a winger or a center forward, is expected to bolster Barcelona's offensive options. His arrival comes after the departure of veteran striker Robert Lewandowski.

Adeyemi joined Dortmund in 2022 from Salzburg. During his four seasons with the German club, he scored 36 goals in 146 appearances across all competitions before making the move to Barcelona.
