Attacker Serhou Guirassy recently orchestrated a remarkable performance, scoring a trip to FC Barcelona in a Champions League match. Although this performance did not allow Borussia Dortmund to avoid the elimination, it allowed Guinean international to take the lead in the ranking of the best scorers in the competition, ahead of Catalan stars Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski with a total of thirteen goals. This high-flying performance naturally attracted considerable interest from several European clubs, including Chelsea and, more insistently, FC Barcelona.

Rumours about a possible transfer from Serhou Guirassy to FC Barcelona have intensified, with the Catalan club seriously considering taking action on this issue in order to prepare Robert Lewandowski’s succession. According to German media sources, the player, who has already worn the LOSC jersey, has an estimated release clause of just under €60 million. At the same time, Chelsea’s leaders, initially interested in Viktor Gyökeres, also seem to reconsider their strategy and might be willing to activate the liberating clause of the former Lille in order to strengthen their attack.

Serhou Guirassy’s ascent to the Bundesliga has been staggering, showing an exceptional increase since his arrival in Germany. Formed in Laval and having briefly worn Lille’s colours before joining Cologne for about three million euros in 2016, after a loan to AJ Auxerre, the native of Arles established himself as a prolific scorer and a key element of Borussia Dortmund, suggesting a promising future and a potentially animated summer mercato. The case remains to be followed closely.
