Barcelona have signed German winger Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund on a deal until 2031, the LaLiga club said on Thursday.
Financial details were not disclosed by the clubs, but media reports said the deal was worth €22 million ($25.1 million) plus add-ons and includes a sell-on clause.
'FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement for the transfer of forward Karim Adeyemi, who has signed a contract with the Catalans until 2031,' Barcelona said in a statement.
Adeyemi joined Dortmund in 2022 from Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg and made 146 appearances for the Bundesliga club, scoring 36 goals in all competitions. The 24-year-old reunites with Hansi Flick, who handed him his senior debut for the Germany national team during the coach's two-year spell in charge.
Adeyemi is renowned for his scintillating pace, having set a Bundesliga speed record at the time when he clocked 36.65 km/h during Dortmund's 5-1 win over Freiburg in the 2022-23 season.
Adeyemi becomes Barcelona's second attack-minded signing of the transfer window after the arrival of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United.
He joins the Spanish champions amid a reshaping of their forward line following Robert Lewandowski's move to Chicago Fire and Marcus Rashford returning to Manchester United after his loan spell at the Catalan club.
