€30m Borussia Dortmund attacker contacted by Barcelona

Barcelona are targeting attacking upgrades after contacting a versatile and dangerous €30 million attacker from Borussia Dortmund.

With just over ten days remaining before the summer transfer window slams shut, FC Barcelona are racing against time to resolve their lingering central striker dilemma.

While sporting director Deco and manager Hansi Flick have successfully addressed multiple tactical areas, the departures of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres left a distinct void in the frontline.

Initial primary pursuits for marquee options hit significant financial roadblocks, forcing Catalonia’s recruitment division to explore pragmatic, high-value opportunities across Europe’s top divisions.

The 30-year-old Guinean international center-forward targeted by the Catalan club is Serhou Guirassy.

According to details revealed by Gerard Romero, Barcelona formally asked about Guirassy’s availability while conducting direct negotiations with Borussia Dortmund over the sale of La Masia defender Héctor Fort.

The 20-year-old right-back has agreed to join the Bundesliga giants, and during those club-to-club talks, Blaugrana executives leveraged the open dialogue to inquire directly about the prolific striker’s transfer status.

Crucially, reports indicate that Guirassy’s contract contains a highly manageable €30 million release clause.

For Barcelona, an established goalscorer possessing impressive physical metrics and elite technical output available at that price point represents a remarkably sensible alternative in an inflated market.

Guirassy has enjoyed a formidable stint in Germany, boasting 60 goals and 15 assists across 96 competitive appearances for Dortmund.

With negotiations for alternative high-profile attackers proving exceptionally complex, Guirassy has suddenly emerged as a prime candidate to anchor Flick’s forward line.

As the decisive phase of negotiations unfolds, there is immense internal optimism that a definitive breakthrough will materialize shortly, allowing the speedster to seamlessly integrate into Barcelona’s high-performance training camp in England.

As direct dialogue continues between both clubs to finalize Fort’s move, Barcelona must now decide whether to officially trigger the striker’s release clause before deadline day.
