Guirassy’s future unclear, top club shows serious interest? | OneFootball

After the unusual role as a substitute on Tuesday in the cup round of 16 against Bayer Leverkusen (0:1), Serhou Guirassy is expected to be back in Borussia Dortmund's starting lineup on Sunday in the home game against TSG Hoffenheim. While Guirassy hopes to take a step towards his old top form, there are ongoing speculations about the 29-year-old's future.

The exit clause, which would allow Guirassy to leave BVB next summer for a fixed fee of around 50 million euros, is no longer a secret – but only to seven selected clubs, which include the two Spanish giants Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, as well as five Premier League clubs.

Chelsea has long been considered interested

The English quintet, to which Guirassy could transfer via the clause without explicit green light from BVB next summer, includes FC Chelsea. And the Blues, who have long been considered interested, have reportedly inquired with Guirassy's management about his future plans, according to a report by "Bild" that cites English sources.

Whether an actual move will be made remains to be seen, but it is unquestionable that Chelsea has the financial means both for the transfer fee and to offer Guirassy a significant increase from his reported Dortmund salary of nine to ten million euros.

Meanwhile, it is clear that contrary to other speculations in recent weeks, Guirassy does not plan to transfer already in the winter. At the same time, according to "Bild", it is considered very unlikely that the Guinea national player will remain in Dortmund beyond the summer of 2026. Also, because BVB is said to have already identified a successor in Fisnik Asllani – who will be visiting with Hoffenheim at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday.
