Barcelona target Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy
Barcelona are preparing for a crucial transition period as the club looks ahead to the next summer transfer window. Despite already having two of La Liga’s most effective strikers, much of the discussion at Camp Nou revolves around securing a new number nine. The situation is pressing because while Ferran Torres remains a valuable player, he has yet to earn the full trust of the club to take on the role of Barcelona’s main striker. Meanwhile, veteran forward Robert Lewandowski is expected to depart at the end of his contract, leaving a significant void at the top of the attack.
Manager Hansi Flick has made it clear that strengthening the forward line will be a priority in his long-term vision for the team. Among the names being closely monitored, one stands out above the rest: Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy. The Guinean forward has been catching the attention of Europe’s top clubs with his remarkable goal-scoring record and consistent performances, and Barcelona appear to be no exception.
Guirassy has enjoyed an impressive spell at Borussia Dortmund, where he featured in 56 matches and found the back of the net 43 times, while also providing 10 assists. His clinical finishing, combined with his ability to link play and create opportunities for teammates, has turned him into one of the Bundesliga’s most reliable forwards. Beyond club football, Guirassy has also made his mark on the international stage, representing Guinea in 26 games and scoring 10 goals. This combination of domestic and international experience makes him an attractive option for Barcelona, especially as they look to build a balanced and versatile attack.

According to reports from German outlet BILD, Flick has been particularly impressed with Guirassy’s qualities and believes the 27-year-old could be a perfect fit for Barcelona’s system. His physical presence, ability to play as a traditional striker, and proven scoring instincts offer the type of profile the Blaugrana will need once Lewandowski moves on. For Flick, who values efficiency and dynamism in the final third, Guirassy appears to tick all the boxes.
Barcelona’s pursuit of a striker is not only about replacing Lewandowski but also about securing a long-term solution for the team’s attacking setup. With the financial situation at the club still requiring careful planning, targeting a player like Guirassy represents a strategic move that could provide both value and quality. His experience in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues, along with his proven international pedigree, makes him a candidate worth serious consideration.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Barcelona fans will be eager to see whether the club can finalize a move for Guirassy. While nothing is decided yet, the strong interest and positive evaluations from Flick suggest that the Borussia Dortmund forward could soon become a key part of the Catalan giants’ future.
