According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona started the new season successfully with a convincing 5-0 victory over Elche. Several players have already demonstrated good form. Although Lamine Yamal's performance was somewhat disappointing, all of Barcelona's forwards showed good form on Sunday evening. However, despite positive signs from the team on the pitch, Barcelona continues to work actively behind the scenes, hoping to attract a suitable center forward before the transfer window closes to further strengthen their attack.

In their search to bolster the attack, Barcelona's chances of signing Julián Álvarez appear to have completely fallen through. Atlético Madrid categorically refused to sell the player to a direct rival and demanded at least €150 million for his transfer. This sum is completely beyond Barcelona's financial means. Faced with this expected setback, Deco began exploring the European market and examining several alternative solutions, hoping to add new options to Flick's attack.

In recent days, German media reported an unexpected candidate. Borussia Dortmund forward Serhou Guirassy also appeared on Barcelona's list of potential targets. Barcelona's sporting management recently contacted Borussia Dortmund regarding the 30-year-old Guinean forward. Guirassy scored 22 goals in the previous season and started in the recent German Super Cup final. Although his €50 million release clause was also applicable to Barcelona, the deal was quickly shelved.

Mundo Deportivo explained that Guirassy's extremely high expected salary of €10 million net per year completely exceeds Barcelona's wage standards. Although young left-back Ector Fort is about to join Borussia Dortmund for over €10 million, which theoretically could have aided negotiations or reduced transaction costs, the high salary demanded by the player who previously played for Rennes ultimately completely closed the door on his transfer to Barcelona. This deal is off, and Barcelona will move on to their next target.
