Release clause for Guirassy? Sebastian Kehl speaks out | OneFootball

Where would Borussia Dortmund be without Serhou Guirassy? The 29-year-old striker keeps scoring and scoring and scoring. Since his arrival at BVB in the summer of 2024, the Guinean has netted 43 times in 54 appearances. Despite a contract until 2028, there are rumors of a transfer surrounding the goal-getter.

Across seasons, Guirassy has scored at least one goal in the last eight Bundesliga matches. Thus, Dortmund's number nine is following in the footsteps of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (36), who even scored in ten consecutive matches in the 2014/15 and 2015/16 seasons.

"He has developed into a world-class player who has certainly had to go through difficult phases in his career, but has matured incredibly," praises Sebastian Kehl (45), the BVB center-forward, in an interview with the WAZ. Guirassy has represented "absolute reliability in this position" over the past few years, raves the sporting director of the Bundesliga runner-up. And further: "Serhou was the top scorer in the Champions League last season and scored a total of 31 competitive goals in 2025. Only Kylian Mbappé has a better rate and that shows the level we are talking about here."

"Be successful with BVB"

Other clubs are likely to have noticed Guirassy's performances as well. The 29-year-old is said to have secured a release clause of 70 million euros in his contract with Borussia, it is said. Kehl emphasizes that he will "generally" not comment on contract details.

However, there have been no specific inquiries, reveals the sporting director. "I can tell you that there was not a single conversation with Serhou or his agent in the summer that aimed to leave the club," Kehl adds. Guirassy "wants to be successful with BVB and he radiates this every day".
