Barcelona are set to be busy this summer once things get going. They\u2019ve already signed Anthony Gordon, and it seems they want yet more pace.<\/p>\n

News broke last night about a player they want \u2013 and Fabrizio Romano is on the scene today to add more information:<\/p>\n

\u201cBarcelona are going all in\u2026 Karim Adeyemi is really, really close to joining\u201d the Italian insider said.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Barcelona manager) Hansi Flick knows Adeyemi really well and has approved the signing\u2026 they see potential in Adeyemi.<\/p>\n

\u201cBarcelona see potential in the player\u2026 also financial potential\u2026 the contract is done, sealed, 5 year contract. Adeyemi wants to go to Barcelona\u2026 he\u2019s not negotiating with any other club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dortmund and Barcelona in talks over speedy attacker\u2019s transfer fee<\/h2>\n

As Romano makes clear, the deal between Adeyemi and Barca is done. It\u2019s just a question of agreeing a transfer fee with Dortmund.<\/p>\n

The German club know that the 24 year old\u2019s contract with them expires in a year, so they will likely accept a pretty reasonable fee. We don\u2019t expect any of this to take long, and Romano could be telling us in the next day or two that a fee has been agreed.<\/p>\n
