Barcelona have signed German winger Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund<\/a> \u2060on a deal until 2031 while Newcastle are set to make Aladji Bamba their fourth summer signing.<\/p>\n

The La Liga club will pay around \u20ac22m (\u00a319m) plus add-ons for the Germany international \u2060and the package includes a sell-on clause.<\/p>\n

\u201cFC Barcelona<\/a> and Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement for the \u2060transfer of forward Karim Adeyemi, who has signed a \u200bcontract with the Catalans \u200cuntil 2031,\u201d Barcelona \u200csaid in a statement.<\/p>\n

Adeyemi joined Dortmund in 2022 from \u200cAustrian side Red Bull Salzburg and made 146 appearances for the Bundesliga club, scoring 36 goals in all competitions. The 24-year-old will reunited with Hansi Flick, who handed him his senior debut for the Germany \u200cnational team during the coach\u2019s two-year spell in charge.<\/p>\n

Adeyemi becomes Barcelona\u2019s second attack-minded \u2060signing of the transfer window after the arrival \u200bof Anthony \u200bGordon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gordon\u2019s former club, Newcastle, meanwhile, are set to make Aladji Bamba their fourth summer signing. The 20-year-old Monaco<\/a> midfielder flew to Tyneside on Thursday ahead of a \u00a334m move from the Ligue 1 side.<\/p>\n

Providing all proceeds to plan, Bamba will be the fourth player Eddie Howe has signed aged 20 or under during this close season. The France Under-20 midfielder \u2013 who made 25 senior appearances for Monaco last season \u2013 will join the former Reims goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen (aged 20), the former Hoffenheim winger Bazoumana Tour\u00e9 (20) and the former Ajax midfielder Sean Steur (18).<\/p>\n

Newcastle\u2019s new transfer policy is to sign players aged 24 or under costing \u2013 broadly \u2013 between \u00a320m and \u00a340m and possessing high resale potential. The idea is to help ensure a club that has recently negotiated a three-year settlement agreement with Uefa after breaching European spending rules remains on the right side of football\u2019s squad investment regulations.<\/p>\n

Quick GuideLiverpool and Newcastle plan Keegan tributesShow<\/p>\n

Newcastle and Liverpool are in discussions over a tribute to Kevin Keegan before the clubs meet for their opening fixture of the new Premier League season at St James’ Park on 23 August.<\/p>\n

Keegan rose to prominence at Liverpool, later becoming a folk hero on the pitch and as manager on Tyneside. The former England striker’s death at the age of 75 was announced on Monday, and Newcastle have confirmed that both clubs are talking about a shared tribute.<\/p>\n

‘The opening Premier League match of 2026-27 sees Newcastle United hosting Liverpool \u2013 where Kevin made 323 appearances between 1971 and 1977,’ a statement on the club website said. ‘To ensure his memory is marked fittingly before the game, the club is in communication with Liverpool and will work closely with supporter groups … and the Premier League, to shape tributes.’<\/p>\n

Newcastle will hold a minute’s silence before their friendly at\u00a0Gateshead on Saturday, while during their trip to Bristol City, Keegan\u2019s image will be shown on the stadium\u2019s screens in the seventh minute, a reference to the shirt number he wore during his distinguished career.<\/p>\n

In addition, the club will consult Keegan\u2019s family ‘at the appropriate time’ as they consider options for a permanent memorial. PA Media<\/p>\n

Thank you for your feedback.<\/p>\n

Given that he prefers to operate as a No 6, Bamba is seen as a replacement for the Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali who swapped Newcastle for Tottenham in an initial \u00a392.5m deal.<\/p>\n

Howe still hopes to keep Bruno Guimar\u00e3es in the face of interest from Arsenal. Mikel Arteta is keen to add the Brazil midfielder to his squad and Newcastle\u2019s captain is believed keen on moving to north London.<\/p>\n

Arsenal though have yet to make a formal offer for Guimar\u00e3es and Newcastle maintain a player who turns 29 later this year is not for sale. They seem unlikely to come to the negotiating table for an offer less than around \u00a375m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barcelona have signed German winger Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund \u2060on a deal until 2031 while Newcastle are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":819509,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-819508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=819508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/819509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=819508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=819508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=819508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
