Because of Guirassy and Adeyemi: BVB are stuck in a transfer trap | OneFootball

After the signing of Joane Gadou, Borussia Dortmund has come to a standstill in the transfer market. The main reason for this is the unresolved future of the BVB duo Serhou Guirassy and Karim Adeyemi.

Borussia Dortmund is currently making little to no progress in the transfer market. While their rivals are already strengthening significantly, the Black and Yellows are still waiting for their next new signing after signing defensive talent Joane Gadou. According to a report by WAZ, the main reason lies in two personnel matters: Serhou Guirassy and Karim Adeyemi.

During an internal meeting involving sporting director Ole Book, managing director Lars Ricken, and coach Niko Kovac, it became clear that the club’s transfer plans currently depend heavily on developments surrounding Guirassy and Adeyemi. As long as their futures remain unresolved, BVB lacks both the financial resources and the available squad spots for major investments.

Guirassy in particular could leave Dortmund this summer. The striker is said to be exploring his options on the transfer market, with several top European clubs reportedly interested. Fenerbahce Istanbul is also publicly pursuing the forward, whose contract runs until 2028. If BVB were to sell the prolific scorer, a substantial transfer fee would significantly increase the club’s financial room for further signings.

Time is also running short in Karim Adeyemi’s case. His contract only runs until 2027, which is why those in charge want clarity as soon as possible. From the club’s perspective, there are essentially only two sensible options: extend his contract or sell him. Otherwise, the attacking player’s market value could continue to fall.

This is precisely why potential new signings are also being delayed. Dortmund is already working on a replacement for Julian Brandt and, according to WAZ, is also still looking for a defensive midfielder. However, bigger investments will only be possible once one of the two attacking players leaves the club and generates the corresponding income.

Time is slowly becoming the decisive factor. BVB’s pre-season preparations for the new campaign begin on July 12. By then, those in charge hope to have brought about a decision on at least Guirassy or Adeyemi. Only once one of these two personnel cases has been resolved is there likely to be noticeable movement again on the incoming transfer front.
