FC Barcelona paid Borussia Dortmund<\/a> 22 million euros for Karim Adeyemi<\/a> in the summer. After just a few weeks, that fee already looks like a bargain. The attacking star is scoring and is clearly enjoying his football.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Adeyemi\u2019s performances in a Bar\u00e7a shirt are even astonishing former teammates. \u201cHe must already be worth 60 million now,\u201d for example, Kevin Gro\u00dfkreutz said on the podcast ViertelstundeFu\u00dfball<\/em> with Corni K\u00fcpper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Hardly anyone expected the winger to take off like this in Catalonia: \u201cNo one saw that coming. Everyone thought: \u2018He won\u2019t play there anyway.\u2019 Yeah \u2013 kiss my ass! He\u2019s become impossible to imagine this team without.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The numbers Adeyemi is putting up prove Gro\u00dfkreutz right. Since his move, the Germany international has immediately established himself at Barcelona. In eight competitive matches, he has already recorded three goals and three assists, and with the team he sits top of the La Liga<\/a> table with a perfect points record.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In general, Adeyemi is benefiting enormously from the way FC Barcelona presses high and works hard off the ball. His impact is not only visible in goals and assists: in the 7\u20132 rout of Racing Santander, he also won two penalties, among other things. In the Spanish media, Adeyemi is being praised as a real asset for the Catalans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Corni K\u00fcpper, however, does not fully share Gro\u00dfkreutz\u2019s enthusiasm. He also viewed Adeyemi\u2019s form in connection with his new surroundings: \u201cI\u2019d argue this: against Paderborn or a team like that, he wouldn\u2019t shine the way he is now in a Barcelona shirt. That\u2019s typical Adeyemi. Right now he wants to show himself to the football world, and now he\u2019s delivering, scoring wonder goals, going on solo runs, nutmegging people.\u201d According to that view, the jump in performance is also linked to the stage Adeyemi now finds himself on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
