Transfer secret revealed: BVB turned down huge offer for Guirassy | OneFootball

After a sensational transfer detail from the winter, Borussia Dortmund is making headlines. A lucrative offer for striker Serhou Guirassy was consistently rejected by BVB despite a high transfer fee.

Borussia Dortmund apparently turned down an extremely lucrative offer for striker Serhou Guirassy during the recent winter transfer window. This was revealed by player agent Roger Wittmann on Thursday (February 26, 2026) in the Sky show Triple.

According to the 65-year-old, a club—whose name was not made public—approached him with great interest. The club wanted to know whether a transfer of the striker in winter would be fundamentally possible—and was reportedly willing to dig deep into their pockets for it. Wittmann acted as an intermediary and inquired with the decision-makers at the Black and Yellows.

The response from Dortmund came promptly. “I asked the club, they declined, and then it was immediately off the table,” Wittmann explained. Despite the prospect of a large sum, BVB showed no willingness to enter into talks.

Why BVB Didn’t Let Guirassy Go

The reasoning from Dortmund was clear. “The club made it clear that they didn’t want to do it because they are ambitious.” They are pursuing high sporting goals and see Guirassy as a key component for that. Internally, it was made unmistakably clear: “We are ambitious and we don’t want to let this man go because he guarantees goals.”

Whether the striker himself would have been open to a transfer in winter, his agent could not answer. The decision was made solely at the club level—and Wittmann expressed his understanding for this. He believes “that they did the right thing.”

Sportingly, Dortmund’s stance seems to be paying off. Since the winter break, Guirassy has scored seven goals across all competitions, underlining his enormous importance to the team. Contractually, BVB also holds the upper hand: the striker’s contract runs until 2028.
