FC Barcelona are already looking ahead to next season, and in Hansi Flick’s plans, one name stands out: Serhou Guirassy. The Borussia Dortmund striker has emerged as a target for the German coach, though any potential transfer looks complicated due to the high financial demands of his club.

Why Does Guirassy Interest Barcelona?

The 29-year-old Guinean forward has been on Flick’s radar ever since he faced him in last season’s Champions League. In the quarterfinals, Guirassy netted a hat-trick in Dortmund’s 3-1 win in Germany, even though Barça advanced thanks to their 4-0 first-leg advantage. His finishing ability made him one of the top scorers of the 2024/25 competition with 13 goals, equaling Raphinha’s tally.

What’s His Contractual and Financial Situation?

Guirassy is under contract with Borussia Dortmund until 2028, which means any interested club would need to negotiate with the German side. According to Bild, his price tag would be around €100 million—a figure difficult to afford under Barcelona’s current financial conditions.

What Role Could He Play at Barça?

The interest in Guirassy comes amid uncertainty over Robert Lewandowski’s future. The Polish striker’s deal now runs until 2026, after an automatic one-year extension triggered by playing more than 55% of Barça’s official matches last season. Standing at 1.87 meters, Guirassy could serve as a medium-term offensive reference and a reliable successor up front.

How Has His Season Started in Germany?

In the current Bundesliga campaign, Guirassy has kept up his prolific form. He has already scored four goals, making him one of the league’s most effective strikers, trailing only Harry Kane, who leads the scoring charts with eight.
