Currently the Bundesliga’s second top scorer with 25 goals, Serhou Guirassy is rumoured to be on Barcelona’s radar, according to a wild rumour at the weekend.

After analysing the situation, Africafoot presents 3 reasons not to believe the rumour. Although there are several options open to the Guinean striker, a move to Barcelona does not appear to be on the cards.

1 Serhou Guirassy not yet a priority for Barça

Serhou Guirassy has been linked with a move to Barcelona due to his performances in the Bundesliga. He appears to be an effective No9, but he is not currently a priority on the Blaugrana’s shortlist. The Spanish club are targeting several Africans, including Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.

2 A player who admires the Premier League

Contrary to rumours, Serhou Guirassy is not overly keen on a move to La Liga. According to his professional objectives, the Guinea international dreams of playing in the English Premier League.

On the market, he is coveted by Manchester United, Newcastle, Tottenham, Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton, Fulham and West Ham. So a move to England seems more likely than a move to Barcelona in Spain.

3 A much-coveted player

In addition to interest from English clubs, Serhou Guirassy is also being pursued by Italian giants. These include AC Milan and their rivals Inter Milan. In Germany, there is talk of Bayern Munich, but that interest has cooled due to the presence of Harry Kane.
