Barcelona Targeting Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy as Potential Lewandowski Successor
Barcelona, spain – FC Barcelona is reportedly prioritizing Borussia Dortmund forward Serhou Guirassy as a potential replacement for veteran striker Robert Lewandowski, according to reports from Spanish publication Sport. the move signals Barcelona’s proactive approach to succession planning as Lewandowski, 37, enters the twilight of his career.
The Catalan club is seeking a dynamic forward capable of maintaining their attacking threat, and Guirassy, 29, has emerged as a leading candidate due to his prolific goal-scoring record. Last season, the Guinean international topped the UEFA Champions League scoring charts with 13 goals and amassed a total of 38 goals across all competitions.
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick views Guirassy as a “realistic option” to fill Lewandowski’s role, citing his proven ability and physical attributes. With Lewandowski’s contract expiring on June 30, Barcelona is actively exploring options to secure a top-level no.9.
The transfer market presents challenges,with a limited number of elite strikers available. However, guirassy’s €60 million release clause, which becomes active next summer, makes him an attainable target, notably given potential financial constraints within the club.
While Flick favors Guirassy, Barcelona’s sporting department is also evaluating internal options, including Ferran Torres, as potential center-forwards. Still, Guirassy’s profile aligns with Barcelona’s needs, offering a combination of experience and goal-scoring prowess.
