Barcelona working to have imminent signing ready for the England pre-season camp Barcelona’s pursuit of Karim Adeyemi continues to gather momentum. An agreement has already been reached with player through his agent, Jorge Mendes, with both parties settling on the terms of a long-term contract . The remaining obstacle is reaching a transfer agreement with Borussia Dortmund. Barcelona’s initial offer for the German attacker was worth €20 million but his club continue to value Adeyemi at around €40 million. While no agreement has been finalized yet, all indications suggest that the two clubs are moving closer to finding common ground. Now, according to SPORT , Barcelona’s objective is clear: to complete the transfer in time for Adeyemi to join the squad for the pre-season training camp in England, which begins on July 27.

The Catalan club also believes that time is working in its favour. Dortmund need to sell a player whose contract expires in just one year, meaning they risk losing him for nothing if they fail to reach an agreement this summer. Flick’s approval and Mendes’ Role Head coach Hansi Flick has already approved Adeyemi’s arrival. Barcelona’s strategy has been developed in close collaboration with Mendes, who has spent several transfer windows trying to engineer a move for the German winger. The transfer has long been Adeyemi’s preferred option, which is why there was no problem in reaching an agreement over personal terms. Barcelona want Adeyemi in time for England trip.

There also remains the possibility that Dortmund could request one of Barcelona’s young players as part of the agreement to strengthen their own squad. England camp remains the target Barcelona are determined to avoid a prolonged negotiation. Everything points toward next week becoming decisive in finalising the transfer and bringing Adeyemi to the club. The aim is for the German international to arrive in Barcelona as soon as possible before linking up with Flick’s squad for the pre-season camp in England. Within the club, that remains the primary objective as negotiations enter what is expected to be their decisive phase.
