Mega offer turned down – Saudi Arabia not yet on Serhou Guirassy’s radar | OneFootball

The future of Serhou Guirassy is a major topic surrounding Borussia Dortmund, even though the striker’s contract runs until 2028. The reason for the recurring speculation is a release clause, about which there are almost daily new reports, as well as about potential interested parties.

After other reports circulated in the meantime, it now seems clear that Guirassy cannot leave BVB via the clause as early as this winter. Although a release clause does exist, as was the case last year, it is only valid in the summer and only for a small group of selected top clubs, mainly from England and Spain. Clubs like Manchester City, Arsenal FC, Real Madrid, or FC Barcelona would have to put around 50 million euros on the table to activate the clause.

Guirassy rejects 60 million euros for three years

For all other clubs, the transfer fee would be freely negotiable. In this case, BVB is reportedly considering 80 million euros as their pain threshold, which probably only a few clubs could afford to pay. Clubs from Saudi Arabia would be capable of doing so. In the Saudi Pro League, Guirassy is said to have been offered by his brother and agent, but according to “Sky,” a move to the desert is currently not an option for the 29-year-old, even though there are apparently inquiries.

For Guirassy, it’s not about earning as much as possible, but about the sporting perspective and the chance to win titles. That’s why the center-forward also turned down a highly lucrative offer from Al Hilal last summer. The Saudi top club, for which Theo Hernández, Ruben Neves, Sergej Milinković-Savić, and Darwin Núñez, among others, play, is said to have offered Guirassy around 60 million euros for a three-year contract.

If Guirassy leaves BVB next summer, it will only be for an absolute top club. Whether such a club will concretely emerge as an interested party will likely also depend on how the rest of the season goes for Guirassy.
