Serhou Guirassy wants out – BVB hope for a change of heart | OneFootball

With his goal for the 1-1 equalizer, Serhou Guirassy played a key role on Friday evening in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, a result that mathematically secured the runners-up spot with one matchday remaining. For Guirassy, it was his 16th goal of the season — and possibly at the same time his last in the black-and-yellow shirt?

After rumors of the striker’s impending departure had already gained more and more momentum in the days leading up to the Frankfurt match, Sky is now reporting that Guirassy has decided he wants to leave BVB again after two years. According to the report, despite having a good personal relationship with coach Niko Kovac, the 30-year-old is unhappy with Dortmund’s style of play and is planning a change.

AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur, and Fenerbahce Istanbul are said to be three clubs showing interest, although none of them are considered to be among the very top tier internationally, meaning the release clause included in Guirassy’s contract, which runs until 2028, would not apply. The transfer fee for the Guinea international would therefore be freely negotiable for those clubs, but so far there has been no contact with BVB.

BVB pushing to keep Guirassy

Meanwhile, BVB are not willing to let their top scorer leave without a fight. On the contrary, those in charge at Borussia remain convinced by Guirassy and are also fully aware that finding an equivalent replacement on the transfer market would be expensive.

New sporting director Ole Book has already held talks with Guirassy. In addition, Kovac and managing director Lars Ricken are both keen to convince the striker, who joined from VfB Stuttgart in the summer of 2024, that his future lies in Dortmund. How good the chances are of succeeding in that effort is difficult to assess at the moment. However, it is conceivable that staying at BVB could also come down to the lack of genuinely top-class alternatives, which apparently have not yet emerged.
