Move abroad? BVB striker Guirassy makes first decision | OneFootball

For weeks, there has been speculation about Serhou Guirassy’s future at Borussia Dortmund. Now, the BVB striker is said to have made an initial key decision in the transfer poker.

Serhou Guirassy’s future remains one of the major transfer topics at Borussia Dortmund. Now, the striker is reportedly said to have made an initial decision that points the way forward. According to BILD, the 30-year-old is unlikely to move to the Saudi Pro League next summer. Although several clubs there are reportedly interested in signing the Guinea international, Guirassy apparently wants to continue his career in top-level European football.

Several reasons are said to be behind this decision. For one, clubs from Saudi Arabia apparently are no longer offering the exorbitant salaries of previous years. For another, the transfer window there does not open until the end of July. Both Guirassy and Borussia Dortmund are said to want clarity about the future much earlier.

That said, a departure from BVB is by no means off the table. There have recently been repeated reports of interest from Fenerbahce Istanbul. Aston Villa are also said to be closely monitoring the striker’s situation. However, according to Dortmund, no concrete offer has been received so far.

BVB transfer plans: A new playmaker for Guirassy?

Dortmund’s decision-makers would like to keep Guirassy. “We have no offer for Serhou. We also have no intention of letting him go. He has impressively proven his value to Borussia Dortmund over the past two seasons,” sporting managing director Lars Ricken recently told WAZ.

To convince the striker to stay, the club is also said to be working on its squad planning for next season, according to information from BILD. Dortmund reportedly want to strengthen the attack with a creative, technically gifted player in order to showcase Guirassy even better in the future.

The forward is under contract in Dortmund until 2028 and was the club’s most successful scorer in the past Bundesliga season with 22 goals. Nevertheless, his future continues to be the subject of intense discussion. According to reports, a release clause of 35 million euros exists for selected top clubs. Regardless of that, BVB are said to be willing to seriously consider a sale only if offers exceed the 40-million-euro mark.
