New Barcelona signing Karim Adeyemi has opened up on the key reason behind his move to the Spanish champions, revealing that head coach Hansi Flick played the biggest role in convincing him to join the Catalan giants.
Barcelona officially confirmed the signing of the highly rated forward from Borussia Dortmund on Thursday, completing one of the club’s biggest transfer deals of the summer transfer window.
The German international has signed a long-term contract that will keep him at the Camp Nou until 2031, as Barcelona continue strengthening their squad ahead of the new season.
Speaking shortly after the announcement of his move, Adeyemi made it clear that his decision was heavily influenced by the confidence and vision presented by Hansi Flick.
“Hansi Flick is the main reason why I’m here. I have spoken a lot with him and have trusted him greatly from the very first moment,” Adeyemi said.
The 24-year-old also expressed his determination to contribute to Barcelona’s ambitions and help the club compete for major trophies.
“I’m willing to help to achieve the objectives,” he added.
Adeyemi’s arrival is expected to provide Barcelona with additional pace, creativity and attacking firepower as the club prepares to defend its La Liga title and challenge for European success.
The talented forward has built a reputation as one of Germany’s most exciting attacking players after impressive spells with RB Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund, where his speed and versatility made him one of the Bundesliga’s standout performers.
Born in Munich on January 18, 2002, Adeyemi has a multicultural background, with a Nigerian father and a Romanian mother. His success has made him one of the footballers of Nigerian heritage attracting global attention.
Barcelona supporters are already looking forward to seeing how the pacey forward fits into Flick’s tactical system, with expectations high that he can become one of the club’s key attacking stars in the coming years.
