Barcelona fit don put small brake for Marcus Rashford dream of permanent move to Spain, as dem reportedly dey plan to “try their luck” with Borussia Dortmund attacker Karim Adeyemi next summer.
Right now, things no dey sweet for Hansi Flick side. Barca don lose 2-1 to PSG for Champions League, and suffer 4-1 beating from Sevilla for La Liga weekend match. The only good thing wey come out of that game na Rashford fine goal — the Englishman third since him summer loan from Manchester United.
So far, Rashford don record 3 goals and 5 assists in him first 10 matches for Barca, and e clear say the winger go love to turn the move to permanent deal. Barcelona even get one £26.2m buy option for him contract, but e never clear whether dem go activate am.
Barcelona Fit Turn To Karim Adeyemi Instead
According to Sky Sports, Barca also dey watch Karim Adeyemi matter closely. The Borussia Dortmund forward still never renew him contract, and the club fit consider to sell am if dem no reach new agreement soon.
Adeyemi join Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg for 2022 on a five-year deal, meaning him contract still go expire by 2027. Reports from Sport Bild via BuliNews talk say talks don start between both parties, but e no sure whether dem go reach final deal.
If Dortmund no renew, Barca fit “try their luck” for the 23-year-old Germany international when summer transfer window open. That kind move fit reduce Rashford chance to stay permanently for Camp Nou.
Since Adeyemi land Dortmund, the young attacker don score 29 goals and give 22 assists in 115 games — including 3 goals and 3 assists from just 8 matches this current season.
Wetin Adeyemi Fit Bring To Barcelona?
This season for Dortmund, Adeyemi dey mostly play central but no be as proper striker — rather as one of two supporting attackers behind Maximilian Beier or Serhou Guirassy under coach Niko Kovac.
So if Barcelona sign am, e no go be Robert Lewandowski replacement. Instead, e go add competition and backup for Raphinha and Lamine Yamal for the wings.
Even though Adeyemi no be goal machine, e no dey fear to take on defenders. In the past year, e average 5.55 successful dribbles per 90 minutes, and e dey create chances from those runs regularly.
Stat-wise, Adeyemi dey inside the 97th percentile among all wide attackers for Europe big five leagues for goal-creating actions from take-ons (0.21 per game), and also for shot-creating actions (0.71 per game).
Meaning say, even if e no be top scorer, the young German dey bring energy, pace, and direct threat — the kind player wey fit balance Flick system and push competition for attacking roles inside Camp Nou.
