BVB clause expired: what next for Guirassy? | OneFootball

Following the expiry of his release clause at Borussia Dortmund, the question is what comes next for Serhou Guirassy. A clear trend is now emerging regarding the future of the BVB striker.

Borussia Dortmund can be increasingly optimistic when it comes to Serhou Guirassy. After weeks of repeated speculation about a possible departure for the prolific striker, there is now a lot to suggest that the Guinea international will also wear the BVB shirt in the 2026/27 season.

One important reason for this is the expiry of his release clause. Until July 15, this allowed several top European clubs to sign the forward for a fixed transfer fee of just under €40 million. Now that the deadline has passed, Dortmund can freely negotiate any potential fee for the 30-year-old and are therefore in a significantly stronger position.

Despite numerous rumours, concrete interest from a top European club failed to materialise. Only Fenerbahce were recently considered a serious suitor. However, according to information from Sky, Borussia Dortmund never received an official offer. In addition, Guirassy himself is reportedly not considering a move to Turkey.

Guirassy likely to stay at BVB

Sky reporter Patrick Berger therefore sees clear advantages for BVB. He explained on the Auffe Süd podcast: “At BVB, they also planned internally with Guirassy and without Adeyemi — those were the two candidates for sale.” Since Karim Adeyemi is said to be on the verge of a move to FC Barcelona, Guirassy’s departure now appears even less likely.

Berger is therefore quite clear in his assessment: “That’s why I currently strongly assume that Guirassy will also play for BVB next season, unless something happens somehow after all.” While a surprise development on the transfer market can never be completely ruled out, at the moment everything points to him staying.

Since his move from VfB Stuttgart in the summer of 2024, the striker has established himself as one of Dortmund’s most important key players. In 96 competitive appearances so far, he has scored 60 goals and provided 15 assists. His contract with BVB runs until 2028. Based on the latest developments, there is a lot to suggest that this partnership will continue into next season as well.
