Barcelona is actively working in the transfer market and, to facilitate this, has requested a €210 million loan, Cadena Ser reported on Thursday. This sum, in addition to the €80 million already spent on Anthony Gordon, is intended to bolster the squad with future-proof signings.
The next major signing on the club's radar is German forward Karim Adeyemi. According to information released yesterday by the Catalan press, the Spanish champions, under the direction of Flick and Deco, have already reached an agreement with the player. Negotiations with Borussia Dortmund, who hold the player's rights until June 2027, are now pending.
The potential arrival of the attacker, the publication emphasizes, is an operation independent of the interest in Julián Álvarez, who remains a priority target for the Blaugrana. The pursuit of a player with the German forward's profile – direct and aggressive – aligns with Hansi Flick's vision of building a versatile attack, similar to Luis Enrique's PSG, capable of adapting to various scenarios.
The €210 million loan, termed Senior Media Notes, will be secured against the club's television rights for upcoming seasons. This capital injection is deemed crucial as the club anticipates exceeding Financial Fair Play limits again next season, which would lead to restrictions on player registrations.
Delays in the Camp Nou renovation project are reportedly hindering the planned commercial exploitation of the stadium for 2026, creating cash flow pressures that this new loan aims to alleviate.
