Barcelona sign star’s 65 million euro transfer move with 88 goals in his last 116 games

Barcelona are reportedly lining up a transfer move for Borussia Dortmund in-form striker Cerfou Guirassi as their preferred replacement for Robert Lewandowski.

The Catalan giants will need to think quickly about replacing veteran frontman Lewandowski, who will turn 38 next season.

It’s not easy to find someone who can slot in like the Polish International has, but Guirassy is one of the most clinical finishers in Europe at the moment.

Guinea International has an impressive record of 88 goals in the last 116 games for Dortmund and former club Stuttgart.

Something of a late bloomer, Guirassi turned 29 earlier this year, but looks like the real deal after his recent rise over the past few years.

Transfer from Serhou Guirassy to Barcelona could cost 605 million euros

According to Fichajes, Barca has shown strong interest in Guirassy. Guirassy has a special release clause worth 65 million euros to certain big clubs.

Reports claim this could allow the likes of Barcelona or Real Madrid to sign Guirassy on that €65 million clause, but it’s not clear if other clubs are here too.

However, Barcelona seem to have a strong interest, so it makes sense that perhaps Guirassy is being targeted as Lewandowski’s successor.

Take a look at Guirassy’s form over the past four seasons below…

Guirassy’s numbers are so impressive that it is certainly inevitable that a big club will come knocking for him soon.

Barcelona will help bring him to the Nu camp, even though Fichajes remembers concerns about the player’s age and the fact that he has never played in La Liga before.

But if they hesitate, it could become dangerous as I imagine other major clubs will come for him.
