Is BVB striker Guirassy joining Barça? One detail changes all | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy has recently been linked with a move to FC Barcelona. Now the Catalans have made a decision regarding the BVB striker.

Serhou Guirassy’s future has been a topic of discussion at Borussia Dortmund for weeks. Most recently, the 30-year-old striker was once again linked with FC Barcelona. The Catalans are looking to strengthen at centre-forward and are also said to have discussed the name of the BVB star. However, it apparently will not lead to a concrete move.

As BILD reports, Barcelona did take another look at Guirassy, but quickly dropped the idea again. The decisive factor was reportedly the financial framework above all. According to the report, the Guinea international earns around ten million euros per year in Dortmund. Apparently too much for the Catalans, who are still financially constrained.

Following the departure of Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona need a new centre-forward. Julián Álvarez is said to be at the top of their wishlist. However, a move for the Argentine is proving difficult because Atlético Madrid do not want to sell their striker to a direct rival. As a result, numerous alternatives have recently been mentioned – including Guirassy and Germany U21 international Nicolò Tresoldi of Club Brugge.

Guirassy likely to stay at BVB – Fort could arrive

For BVB, this currently suggests that their striker will stay. Guirassy is still under contract in Dortmund until 2028. In principle, the forward is said to be open to a new challenge, but no concrete move is currently taking shape.

Even so, Borussia Dortmund and FC Barcelona are currently in contact – though over a different player. BVB are working on a deal for right-back Héctor Fort. The 20-year-old is said to be open to a move to Dortmund.

The sticking point is still the transfer fee. While Barcelona are initially believed to be demanding around 17 million euros, Mundo Deportivo also reports a possible structure worth just over ten million euros. In return, the Spaniards could secure a large sell-on clause and a buy-back option. So while a Guirassy move to Barcelona appears to be off the table for now, Fort could soon be heading in the opposite direction to Dortmund.
