Barcelona ready to dole out €8m for Nigeria born Karim Adeyemi

La Liga giants Barcelona are reportedly ready to dole out €8m (about N3.1billion) for Nigeria born Germany junior international Karim Adeyemi.

Adeyemi who currently has a 3-year running contract with FC Red Bull Salzburg has been on the radar of former indomitable Lions of Cameroon Assistant Coach and Barca Youth Chief Patrick Kluivert.

The Catalans according to Mundo Deportivo believe it will be a good move to go for the 17 year old striker who has been likened to Ansu Fati who only last month joined the senior team of the Catalans becoming the youngest player in the history of La Liga to score and assist in the same match, at the age of 16 years and 318 days.

Fati scored in the 2nd minute and assisted Frenkie de Jong’s goal in the 7th minute of an eventual 5–2 home win against Valencia.

On 17 September, Fati made his Champions League debut in a 0–0 away draw against Borussia Dortmund, becoming the youngest player to feature for Barcelona in the competition at the age of 16 years and 321 days, breaking the previous record held by Bojan Krkić (17 years and 22 days); he also became the third-youngest player ever to appear in the competition.
