Meknes – Karim Adeyemi is one step closer to finalizing his dream move to Catalonia after completing his medical at the Hospital de Barcelona on Thursday.
Having already agreed to personal terms last week, the German forward is now set to sign his contract and immediately join Hansi Flick’s squad for first-team training.
This medical was crucial for Barcelona given Adeyemi’s long history of injuries, which saw him sidelined at least once every season at Dortmund. According to Marca, one of the club’s top priorities is to design a tailored fitness plan to keep him healthy and break this frustrating cycle.
The same source indicates that the 24-year-old player wants to get straight to work and is expected to join training this Friday, either in the morning or afternoon session.
Adeyemi will also head to Barcelona’s preseason camp to quickly gel with his new teammates before their league opener away at Elche on Sunday, January 23.
The German forward marks Barcelona’s second signing of the window, following the pre-World Cup arrival of Anthony Gordon for an initial €70 million plus €10 million in variables.
Adeyemi arrives on a significantly cheaper deal, with Barcelona paying Borussia Dortmund a guaranteed €22 million and an additional €7 million in potential add-ons.
During his final campaign with Borussia Dortmund before his move to Barcelona, Adeyemi recorded 10 goals and 6 assists in 39 appearances across all competitions.
The German winger was particularly effective in the Bundesliga, where he registered 7 goals and 4 assists in 28 games, while also making a strong impact on the European stage with 3 goals and 2 assists in 9 Champions League matches.
