Adeyemi, born in Munich in 2002, has a versatile attacking profile, capable of playing on either wing or as a centre-forward. He previously played for Red Bull Salzburg and has made 146 appearances for Dortmund, scoring 36 goals across all competitions. His experience in both the Bundesliga and Champions League makes him a valuable addition to the squad, especially under coach Hansi Flick, who gave him his senior debut for the Germany national team.5
Meanwhile, Newcastle United is poised to sign Aladji Bamba from Monaco for £34m, marking their fourth signing of the summer. The 20-year-old midfielder is expected to fill the gap left by Sandro Tonali, who transferred to Tottenham for an initial £92.5m. Newcastle's strategy focuses on acquiring players aged 24 or under, with a budget of £20m to £40m for high resale potential.78
Bamba, who made 25 senior appearances for Monaco last season, is seen as a key part of this new approach, joining other young talents like Ewen Jaouen, Bazoumana Touré, and Sean Steur in the squad.
“Barcelona will pay around €22m (£19m) plus add-ons for the Germany international, who joins from Borussia Dortmund after scoring 36 goals in 146 appearances. Newcastle's move for Aladji Bamba, a France Under-20 midfielder, is part of their new transfer policy targeting players aged 24 and under.”
