Bild<\/a>“, sporting director Deco recently enquired about the Borussia Dortmund striker. His high salary, though, prompted the Catalan club to reject the deal.<\/p>\nThe German newspaper reported that the striker earns around ten million euros a year, a figure that dwarfs Barcelona’s wage structure.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Reports in recent months put the release clause in Guirassy’s contract at around 50 million euros, an amount only a handful of major European clubs can afford, Barcelona among them.<\/p>\n
The salary is the sticking point. It has denied Barcelona the deal this summer.<\/p>\n
Guirassy joined Borussia Dortmund in 2024 from Stuttgart, and his contract runs until 2028.<\/p>\n
He shone at the Signal Iduna Park last season, finishing with 22 goals and six assists in 46 matches.<\/p>\n
Late last week, he started Dortmund’s 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup final.<\/p>\n
“Bild” also reported that Dortmund are close to landing a Barcelona gem in Hector Fort.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Representatives of the German club flew to Barcelona yesterday to speed the transfer along.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Barcelona want more than 10 million euros for the academy graduate, while Hansi Flick has chosen to keep Xavi Espart in the squad.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Eight days remain until the window closes, and Deco is still hunting for an out-and-out striker.<\/p>\n
