"FC Barcelona are scouring the market for a new centre-forward to succeed Robert Lewandowski at the club next year. The veteran Pole is out of contract at the end of the season and a renewal appears unlikely at this point, with the Catalans already looking for possible replacements. With the likes of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez considered out of reach, the La Liga champions are looking at more financially viable options."
"As per the report, Guirassy has a special release clause in his contract at Borussia Dortmund, worth around €50 million, which is valid only for seven top clubs across Europe. The release clause is valid for Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United. It means that the Catalans can sign the 29-year-old striker for an affordable fee of €50 million if they decide to go after him with serious intent."
"While Guirassy would not be a long-term solution, he would represent a sound investment for Barcelona, considering how he has been one of the most prolific strikers in Europe in recent seasons. Having finished as the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League last season, the Guinean has already scored nine and assisted four goals in 17 matches this season. It will be interesting to see whether Barcelona are prepared to go after Guirassy, who will turn 30 years old in March next year."
FC Barcelona are searching for a centre-forward to replace Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expires at the end of the season and renewal appears unlikely. The club considers elite options such as Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez out of reach and is prioritising more financially viable alternatives. Harry Kane and Serhou Guirassy have emerged as targets, with Kane's contract at Bayern Munich including a €65 million release clause but the player expected to remain. Guirassy reportedly has a special €50 million release clause at Borussia Dortmund valid for seven top European clubs. The 29-year-old has been prolific, finishing as Champions League top scorer last season and contributing nine goals and four assists in 17 matches this season, and would offer a short-term, affordable striking option while turning 30 in March.
