Barcelona could reportedly offer Ferran Torres to Borussia Dortmund as part of a potential deal for Karim Adeyemi.
There is currently a host of speculation surrounding Adeyemi's future, with Chelsea said to be interested in signing the Germany international during next summer's transfer window.
The 22-year-old has been in excellent form for Dortmund during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring five goals and registering five assists in eight appearances in all competitions.
According to Fichajes, Barcelona are also in the mix for the attacker, and the Catalan outfit have come up with a plan to beat Chelsea to his signature in the 2025 summer transfer window.
The report claims that Barcelona will use Dortmund's interest in Torres in a bid to secure a deal for Adeyemi, with the Spaniard potentially being offered to the Bundesliga giants.
Barcelona 'to offer Torres to Dortmund as part of Adeyemi swap deal'
Torres made the move to Barcelona from Manchester City in 2022, and he has represented the Catalan giants on 123 occasions in all competitions, scoring 26 goals and registering 15 assists in the process.
The 24-year-old has only managed one goal and two assists in 10 appearances for Hansi Flick's side this season, meanwhile, and he has been on the sidelines since the start of October due to a hamstring problem.
Torres will again miss out against Real Sociedad in La Liga on Sunday night, while he has been left out of the Spain squad for their November internationals due to his injury problem.
Barcelona now have a settled front three of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, which will make it difficult for Torres to secure regular action moving forward, but Dortmund are likely to face competition for his signature, as Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are believed to be interested in his services.
What would Adeyemi bring to Barcelona?
Adeyemi made the move to Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg in 2022, and he has been an impressive performer for BVB, scoring 19 goals and registering 13 assists in 74 appearances in all competitions.
The forward boasts blistering pace, but he also has an impressive end product, with the German in excellent form earlier this season before picking up an injury which has sidelined him since the start of October.
Adeyemi scored a hat trick and provided an assist on his last appearance against Celtic, but he had to be replaced in the early stages of the second period in that match due to a muscular problem.
The forward is expected to be back on the field by the end of November, though, and a strong second half of the campaign could make it very difficult for Dortmund to keep hold of him, with Chelsea and Barcelona potentially being joined by a number of other clubs in the race for his signature. body check tags ::
