Armando González eyed as Guirassy replacement at BVB? | OneFootball

With his twelfth goal of the season, Serhou Guirassy put Borussia Dortmund on the path to victory against his former club 1. FC Köln on Saturday evening, but had to make way for Fabio Silva after just an hour. Silva, in his first year at BVB, has not yet emerged as a proven goal scorer. Whether both strikers will continue to play in the black and yellow jersey next season has long been a subject of speculation—and will likely remain so for some time.

Due to his personally unsatisfactory playing time, Silva reportedly considered leaving as early as January, just half a year after arriving in Dortmund, to boost his chances of participating in the World Cup with the Portuguese national team. However, a quick resale of the 23-year-old was not an option for BVB—nor was letting go of Guirassy, for whom a lucrative offer from an unnamed foreign club was reportedly rejected.

Guirassy is currently being considered as a transfer candidate for the summer, reportedly on the wish list of AC Milan, among others. And it wouldn't be surprising if other clubs from England or Spain inquired about Silva. While BVB is unlikely to let both go, they would do well to keep an eye on the striker market to be able to react if necessary.

Other Interested Parties from Europe

And as Fox Sports now reports, BVB has their sights set on Armando González from Deportivo Guadalajara for the new season. The Mexican first division player has scored 17 goals and provided one assist in 26 competitive matches this season.

The 22-year-old, who only has a contract until the end of the year, could be available relatively cheaply in the summer. However, González, who debuted for the Mexican national team in November and has scored once in four international matches since, could further increase his market value at the 2026 World Cup in his home country. There is interest not only from BVB but also from various other renowned European clubs, including FC Barcelona, West Ham United, Celtic Glasgow, and Feyenoord Rotterdam.
