Press reports said Barcelona are looking to sign an attacking option from the German league. This comes as part of Hansi Flick’s plan to improve the team’s attacking line.
Flick has already started planning for the 2026-27 season, with a clear focus on attack. Robert Lewandowski is now 38 years old, and his contract with the Catalan side will end on 30 June 2026. The club do not plan to extend his deal.
Barcelona target Serhou Guirassy from Dortmund
According to Mundo Deportivo and the German outlet Bild, the main focus is on Serhou Guirassy. The Borussia Dortmund forward is 29 years old and caught Flick’s attention with his strong form last season.
Guirassy finished among the best scorers in the Bundesliga and shared the Champions League top scorer award with Rafinha. He scored three goals against Barcelona, which made Flick keep a close eye on him.
Reports said the player’s price is around 100 million euros. This is a huge fee, and Barcelona cannot pay that amount right now because of their financial problems. Still, the club hope to negotiate a lower price.
Flick saw Guirassy in action last season in the Champions League quarter-final. The striker scored a hat-trick in Dortmund’s 3-1 win at home. But the heavy 4-0 defeat in Barcelona in the first leg stopped the German side from going through.
The 1.87m tall striker has carried on his goal-scoring form this season. He already scored four goals in the Bundesliga, putting him ahead of big names like Harry Kane.
His skill, strength, and experience in Europe make him Flick’s main option to strengthen Barcelona’s attack for the new season. The club want to return strongly in Europe and keep their place among the top teams on the continent.
What has Serhou Guirassy done with Borussia Dortmund?
Guirassy joined Dortmund from Stuttgart for 18 million euros. Since then, the Guinea international has played 56 matches for the Black and Yellows. He has scored 43 goals and made 10 assists. His market value now stands at around 45 million euros.
