Premier League instead of Turkey? New top club chase BVB star Guirassy | OneFootball

After the ongoing speculation surrounding Fenerbahce, there is now a new suitor for Serhou Guirassy. A Champions League participant from the Premier League is apparently keeping a very close eye on the BVB star’s situation.

Serhou Guirassy’s future at Borussia Dortmund continues to generate plenty of discussion. While Fenerbahce Istanbul had recently been mentioned in particular as a possible new destination for the prolific striker, a far more attractive option could now emerge. According to BILD, Premier League club Aston Villa are considering a move for the 30-year-old.

According to the report, the officials at the historic English club are closely monitoring the situation surrounding the BVB striker. The report says the club’s decision-makers are already discussing internally whether they should submit an offer for the Guinea international. Aston Villa would have several arguments in their favor: alongside the financial strength of the Premier League, the forward would also have the prospect of playing in the Champions League.

In recent weeks, rumors from Turkey in particular had caused a stir. As part of Fenerbahce’s presidential election, there was even speculation about an alleged verbal agreement between Guirassy, the Istanbul club, and Borussia Dortmund. However, BILD recently denied those reports. According to the newspaper, the striker has not yet made a decision about his future and wants to wait and see whether other top clubs come forward.

Will Guirassy leave BVB this summer?

At BVB, they would generally like to keep the striker. According to information from BILD, the club is even said to be considering bringing in a creative No. 10 to play alongside him in order to make even better use of his qualities. Nevertheless, Dortmund would not categorically rule out a sale if a suitably high offer were made.

At the same time, Dortmund’s reported minimum acceptable fee is said to be around €40 million. While there is a release clause worth €35 million for selected top European clubs, reports say it does not apply to either Aston Villa or Fenerbahce. If either club becomes serious, direct negotiations with Dortmund would be required.

For Aston Villa, a fee in that range should in principle be manageable. That is why the English club’s interest is unlikely to be unwelcome to the BVB bosses. Whether it actually leads to a concrete offer, however, remains to be seen.
