Barcelona are reportedly lining up a transfer move for in-form Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy as their preferred replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
The Catalan giants will surely soon have to think about replacing veteran front man Lewandowski, who will turn 38 next season.
It won’t be easy to find someone who can place himself and the Poland international, but Guirassy is one of the most clinical finishers in Europe at the moment.
The Guinea International has a superb record of 88 goals in his last 116 games for Dortmund and his former club Stuttgart.
Something of a late bloomer, Guirassy turned 29 earlier this year, but looks like the real deal after his recent rise over the past few years.
Serhou Guirassy’s transfer to Barcelona could cost 65 million euros
According to Fichajes, Barca are showing strong interest in Guirassy, who has a special release clause worth 65 million euros for some big clubs.
The report claims this would allow Barcelona and Real Madrid to sign Guirassy for that €65 million clause, but it is unclear which other clubs could also be in frame here.
Barcelona appear to have strong interest, so perhaps it makes sense that Guirassy would be targeted as Lewandowski’s successor.
Take a look below at Guirassy’s form over the last four seasons…
| Season | Games | Goals |
| 2022/23 (Stuttgart) | 28 | 14 |
| 2023/24 (Stuttgart) | 30 | 30 |
| 2024/25 (Dortmund) | 50 | 38 |
| 2025/26 (Dortmund) | 8 | 6 |
Guirassy’s numbers are truly impressive, so it is surely inevitable that the big clubs will come knocking for him soon.
Barcelona would do well to bring him to the Nou Camp, although Fichajes notes some concern over the player’s age and the fact that he had not played in La Liga before.
If they hesitate, however, it could be risky as it is imagined that other big clubs will come for him, with €65 million looking like a bargain for such a prolific player.
