Title frustration over Bayern: Guirassy set to leave Dortmund? | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund faces the potential loss of its top striker this summer. Serhou Guirassy is being linked with a move to Italy—partly due to Bayern Munich’s dominance in winning titles.

Speculation about a possible transfer of Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy is ramping up again ahead of the coming summer. There is concrete interest being reported especially from Italy—and, ironically, their big league rival could play a role in his future decision: FC Bayern Munich.

After the recent 2-3 defeat against Bayern, Dortmund’s gap in the Bundesliga table has grown significantly. With an eleven-point deficit to the top, coach Niko Kovac’s team is once again facing a season without a title. This very situation is said to be weighing on Guirassy’s mind as well.

According to the Italian sports newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, the striker has realized that it is “very complicated” to win a trophy in the same league as FC Bayern. The report suggests that the 29-year-old could therefore be considering leaving Dortmund—even though his contract with BVB runs until 2028.

A possible destination could be the traditional Italian club AC Milan. The Rossoneri have reportedly been interested in the Guinea international for some time. Should Milan qualify for the Champions League, signing a new center forward could become a priority in the summer. In this scenario, Guirassy is even considered the preferred solution, according to the report.

Milan shows interest in BVB striker Guirassy

At BVB, the striker remains one of the most important attacking players despite a more challenging period. With 16 goals and six assists, he is still Dortmund’s most dangerous attacker.

Financially, a transfer could be realistic. According to media reports, Guirassy has a release clause of around 50 million euros, which is set to become active next summer. At the same time, the striker is reportedly considering signing his last major contract in 2026—a goal that might only be achievable with a club change.

In addition to a move to Italy, Saudi Arabia is also still considered a possible option for the striker. However, it remains to be seen whether Dortmund would even be willing to let go of their top striker. One thing is certain: As long as BVB continues to chase the title, the rumors about Guirassy’s future are unlikely to die down.
