Farewell to BVB? Premier League club chasing Guirassy | OneFootball

With increasing transfer rumors surrounding Serhou Guirassy, a top team from the Premier League is now entering the bidding war. BVB could be facing a lucrative departure and bidding war this summer.

At Borussia Dortmund, a pivotal personnel decision might be on the horizon this summer: Serhou Guirassy is apparently on the verge of a possible departure – and the interested parties are increasingly positioning themselves. There is particularly concrete movement in the transfer negotiations coming from England.

As reported by BILD, Tottenham Hotspur has firmly set its sights on the striker. According to the report, Spurs scouts have recently watched the 30-year-old live in the stadium for five consecutive games – a clear sign of increased interest. Furthermore, the Premier League club is said to have already contacted the management of the Guinean national player to explore a possible move to London.

Tottenham, currently at the bottom of the Premier League table and in the midst of restructuring plans, apparently sees Guirassy as a central component for the upcoming season. Financially, a transfer would also be attractive: According to the report, the striker could expect a significantly higher salary on the island than the current approximately ten million euros annually at BVB.

AC Milan and Tottenham keen on BVB striker Guirassy

Competition for the striker comes from Italy. AC Milan is also making intensive efforts for Guirassy, which significantly strengthens Dortmund's negotiating position. Although the striker has a release clause of around 50 million euros, it only applies to a selected group of top clubs – Tottenham and Milan are not among them. The transfer fee would thus be freely negotiable, making a bidding war quite possible.

A sale could also make economic sense for BVB. After the early exit in the Champions League against Atalanta Bergamo, there is a threat of revenue losses in the millions. A lucrative transfer of Guirassy could help to at least partially offset this financial deficit. Especially since Dortmund only signed the striker in 2024 thanks to a release clause for a comparatively low 18 million euros from VfB Stuttgart.

In terms of performance, Guirassy continues to deliver solid numbers – in the current season, he has scored 17 goals and provided six assists in 38 competitive matches. Nevertheless, he has not always been undisputed recently and has occasionally caused unrest off the pitch. Meanwhile, his entourage has been exploring the market for months.
