'Difficult to reach Lionel Messi's level' - Honest Lamine Yamal verdict delivered by Karim Adeyemi as new Barcelona signing targets Champions League glory

Karim Adeyemi has officially joined the Hansi Flick project at Barcelona, arriving as the club’s second high-profile signing of the summer following Anthony Gordon. The Germany international has wasted no time in setting his sights on Champions League glory while offering a fascinating perspective on his new team-mate Lamine Yamal.

Adeyemi was formally presented at Barcelona on Thursday , marking the beginning of a new chapter for the 24-year-old forward following his departure from Borussia Dortmund on a contract that runs until 2031. The Germany forward has already integrated into the environment at the Ciutat Esportiva, having visited the facilities last week to meet his new team-mates, although he had to wait for the formal completion of his contract before taking part in a full training session under Flick.
