Transfer Talk: Borussia Dortmund nearing Guirassy deal

Posted Thursday, June 27, 2024 by ESPN

Borussia Dortmund are on the verge of finalising a deal for VfB Stuttgart forward Serhou Guirassy, reports Fabrizio Romano.

It is reported that Dortmund have won the race for the forward, after receiving the "green light" from Guirassy with the formal steps to follow. The tweet suggests that Dortmund will activate the modest release clause of €17.5 million, which has been a value that has attracted the attention of many clubs.

The 28-year-old has shot to prominence following a remarkable season in Germany. Guirassy notched 28 goals in 28 Bundesliga appearances, leaving Stuttgart in a difficult position to keep their talisman this summer.

Several Premier League clubs were linked with Guirassy, including Arsenal. However, Dortmund have seemingly emerged victorious in the pursuit, though the deal is yet to be finalised.

Dortmund are not short on options up front with the German giants able to call upon Niclas Füllkrug, Sébastien Haller and Youssoufa Moukoko. However, with Guirassy's arrival looking likely, this could plunge, in particular, Haller and Moukoko's futures at the club in doubt.

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly close to signing Stuttgart forward Serhou Guirassy in the summer transfer window.
