Unwelcome BVB clause revealed: Guirassy cheaper than thought? | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is facing a tricky summer transfer window surrounding Serhou Guirassy. New details about his release clause could significantly complicate BVB’s plans.

Serhou Guirassy’s future at Borussia Dortmund continues to be a hot topic — and a new report from BILD has now brought to light details that are far from ideal for BVB. According to the report, the striker’s release clause is allegedly well below the figures previously assumed. Instead of around €50 million, Guirassy could reportedly be available for about €35 million. That would make the 30-year-old a real bargain for Europe’s top clubs — but a potential financial setback for Dortmund.

What also makes the situation delicate is the timing: according to the report, the clause only becomes active from July 1 or later in the summer. For new sporting director Nils-Ole Book, that significantly complicates squad planning, as key decisions may have to be delayed.

Internally, Guirassy is still considered a candidate for sale to help finance the planned squad overhaul. But if a club triggers the clause, the proceeds would be limited. At the same time, there is a risk of a drawn-out saga, as the striker could be seen by many clubs more as a second-choice option.

BVB hopes for a bidding war over Serhou Guirassy

At least there is also interest from clubs that are not subject to the release clause arrangement. Clubs such as AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur have recently been linked with Guirassy. In such cases, Dortmund would be free to negotiate the transfer fee — and in the best-case scenario, spark a bidding war.

Meanwhile, a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia appears to have become less likely, shifting the focus clearly to Europe. At the same time, BVB is already sounding out the market for possible replacements. One candidate is TSG Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani. However, a move for the forward would immediately eat up a large portion of the Guirassy income.

Bottom line: the details revealed by BILD are putting BVB under pressure — and making an already demanding summer transfer window even more complicated.
