Guirassy on the way out? Now BVB chief Book responds | OneFootball

There are still transfer rumors surrounding Serhou Guirassy at Borussia Dortmund. Now BVB sporting director Ole Book has spoken in detail for the first time about the striker’s future.

Serhou Guirassy’s future continues to be a talking point at Borussia Dortmund. For weeks, rumors have persisted that the striker could leave BVB this summer. Now sporting director Ole Book has commented more extensively on the speculation for the first time – and did not completely rule out a possible transfer.

Guirassy has repeatedly been linked with a move in recent weeks. Among others, there were reports of interest from Fenerbahce Istanbul. The forward’s body language had also raised questions among some fans. Moments such as his refusal to shake hands with coach Niko Kovac added further fuel to the debate surrounding the 30-year-old.

Book has now made it clear, however, that Dortmund still sees the striker as part of its plans. “I basically have the feeling that he is still very eager to play for Borussia Dortmund and that he can help us,” the BVB sporting director said on the sidelines of a media roundtable. Referring to the Guinea international’s performances, he added: “We see that week after week and also in the statistics with his goals.”

BVB does not completely rule out Guirassy departure

For that reason, a departure is currently not planned. At the same time, however, Book made it clear that the club would be willing to talk if an extraordinary offer came in. “It is not our plan to let him go. Nevertheless, the same applies here: if incredible offers come in, we will think about it.”

In general, Dortmund still expects movement in the transfer market in the coming weeks. Many players are currently still involved in international competitions, which could generate additional attention. “It can always happen there that someone performs exceptionally well and as a result receives offers,” Book explained.

BVB wants to act sensibly from an economic standpoint, but still has options in the market. According to Book, the club must “act responsibly from a financial perspective” while also remaining creative in order to find solutions. One thing is also clear to those in charge at Dortmund: interest from other clubs comes with the territory for a club of this size. “At a club like Borussia Dortmund with very, very good players, it is almost a law of nature that offers come in,” Book said.
