Barcelona Inquires About Serhou Guirassy from Borussia Dortmund

Barcelona's management is actively searching for a new central striker, especially as the prospect of signing Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid appears increasingly unlikely.

According to German newspaper "Bild," the Catalan club's sporting department recently contacted Borussia Dortmund to inquire about the status of striker Serhou Guirassy. The publication states that the Guinea international's price tag for seven leading European clubs, including Barcelona, is just over 50 million euros. This sum doesn't seem insurmountable, considering the Blaugrana were reportedly prepared to offer 100 million for Álvarez. However, a potential hurdle could be Guirassy's high salary, estimated at 10 million euros annually, as Barça is bound by strict financial regulations.

Serhou Guirassy had an excellent season with Borussia Dortmund, scoring 22 goals and providing six assists in 46 appearances. He also started for the Black and Yellows in their 2-1 Supercup final loss to Bayern Munich.

A potential transfer could be facilitated by Borussia's interest in one of Barcelona's academy talents, Héctor Fort. The Spanish club is expected to demand just over 10 million euros for the young player's rights.
