No January exit for Serhou Guirassy – release clause not active this winter | OneFootball

Like the entire team, Serhou Guirassy had a rather difficult start to the game, but in the end, with a brace, he achieved a personal breakthrough and fired Borussia Dortmund to a 4-0 victory over FC Villarreal, bringing qualification for the Champions League a step closer once again. Should BVB make it through the league phase, Guirassy would in all likelihood also be part of the knockout rounds in the black and yellow jersey.

Contrary to reports from foreign media suggesting otherwise, Guirassy does not have a release clause for the winter, according to information from “Sport Bild”. There is indeed such an agreement for the summer, though only for a small circle of top international clubs, but not in the middle of the season.

Transfer fee would be negotiable in winter

Recently, Paris St. Germain, Manchester United, and Arsenal FC have been rumored to be considering a winter signing of Guirassy, whose summer clause would be valid for these clubs and would allow a transfer for a fixed fee of 50 million euros—but only after the 2025/26 season.

In winter, and generally for other clubs, the amount of the transfer fee is freely negotiable. BVB is said to have a pain threshold, but this is reportedly set quite high at 80 million euros. Nevertheless, it is not unthinkable that clubs could come forward with corresponding offers. Especially in the Saudi Pro League, where Guirassy is said to have been offered by his brother and agent, the financial means would be available to put together such a package.

Guirassy himself, meanwhile, was simply happy about his brace on Tuesday evening, but also showed himself to be a team player and emphasized the importance of collective success: “It’s always nice to score goals. I’m happy that I can help the team. You can’t always score goals. We have to keep working hard.”
