Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly identified Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy as their No.1 target for the summer transfer window.
According to Sport Bild, as detailed by RMC Sport, PSG manager Luis Enrique has made the Guinean forward his main priority.
Guirassy, 29, has enjoyed a sensational debut season in Dortmund, scoring 33 goals and providing nine assists in 44 matches across all competitions.
In the UEFA Champions League alone, Guirassy has bagged 13 goals, which puts him joint-top scorer in the competition level with Barcelona’s Raphinha.
His form and style of play have drawn comparisons to Bundesliga legend Robert Lewandowski, particularly for his movement and clinical finishing.
Despite PSG’s interest, a transfer isn’t straightforward. Guirassy has a €70m [$78m] release clause, but it’s reportedly only valid for selected clubs including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.

PSG are not on that list, meaning the French champions would have to negotiate directly with Dortmund.
Guirassy, who landed at Signal Iduna Park from Stuttgart last summer, is open to staying at the club. But that could change if Dortmund fail to make it to next season’s Champions League.
With one Bundesliga match remaining, Dortmund sit fifth on 54 points, trailing SC Freiburg [55 points] in the fourth and final Champions League spot.
If Dortmund fail to break into the top four, the door could open for PSG to pursue one of Europe’s most prolific forwards, with all eyes on their season finale against relegate Holstein Kiel.
