Barcelona make official approach for Borussia Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi

Spanish outlets report that Barcelona have submitted an official offer to Borussia Dortmund for German forward Karim Adeyemi. The 24-year-old has one year left on his contract and has no intention of extending under the current terms. That puts pressure on Dortmund, who had hoped to start negotiations at a fee above €50 million. But with a formal bid now on the table and the player pushing for the move, the Bundesliga side may have to soften their demands. Adeyemi's representatives have told Barcelona he is fully on board with the transfer — he had already expressed a desire to leave the club last year. Last season, the forward racked up 10 goals and 6 assists in 39 appearances across all competitions.
