Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi hints at potential Barcelona move on social media
Barcelona is on the lookout for a new forward this summer, and Karim Adeyemi has hinted that he may be interested in joining the club. The Borussia Dortmund striker was spotted on social media liking a post that suggested he would be the ideal replacement for Ansu Fati. While it’s possible that Adeyemi was simply liking the post as a compliment, his actions have not gone unnoticed.
Adeyemi has had a successful season, scoring 9 goals and providing 6 assists in 29 appearances. He is known for his speed and ability to get in behind the opposition’s defense, and he can play across the front three. The 19-year-old German international has caught the attention of many top clubs with his performances this season.
Barcelona has been looking for a forward to complement their attacking options, which currently include Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele, and Martin Braithwaite. President Joan Laporta has stated that the club may have to sell some players to raise funds for new signings, but the club will not be short of suitors for their players or targets for recruitment.
Adeyemi, who was born in Munich and has Nigerian roots, started his career at SpVgg Unterhaching before moving to RB Salzburg in 2018. He joined Borussia Dortmund in January 2021 but spent the remainder of the season on loan at FC Liefering. He has since made a big impact at Dortmund, and his performances have caught the attention of several top clubs across Europe.
While it remains to be seen whether Adeyemi will indeed make a move to Barcelona this summer, his interest in the club is a sign that the Catalan giants remain an attractive destination for top players. Barcelona has a rich history of success, and while they have had their financial struggles in recent years, they remain a top club in Europe.
