The return to Germany did him the greatest good. Having moved to Cologne between 2016 and 2019, Serhou Guirassy then shone with Amiens (2019/2020) before experiencing a more mixed spell at Stade Rennais (2020/2022). Finally, the striker opted for a loan to Stuttgart in the Bundesliga in order to get back on track. A loan which quickly transformed into a transfer worth 9 million euros. Already last year, the native of Arles scored 14 goals and delivered 2 goals in 28 matches. He was particularly valuable in the play-offs to stay in the Bundesliga against Hamburg (3-0/3-1). Four months later, Guirassy-mania has not stopped, on the contrary. Currently second in the Bundesliga, Stuttgart has had a great start to the season and owes it to its strong man Serhou Guirassy.
It’s simple, the Guinean has already done as well as last season as a whole, but after only eight matches. With already 14 goals and 2 goals (13/1 in the Bundesliga), he was decisive in 7 of these 8 matches. We note in particular doubles against Bochum, Freiburg and Darmstadt as well as two hat-tricks against Mainz and Wolfsburg. It’s simple, Germany is under the spell of the attacker who is currently crushing everything in his path. “Guirassy is a complete center forward. A real scorer. He brings everything with him: power, speed, technique, he hits with his foot and with his head. said Sky Sports consultant and 1990 world champion Lothar Matthaüs.
A contract that will evolve
Currently under contract until June 2026, the main interested party has a release clause of 20 million euros. Although he is only 27 years old and given his performances, this sum does not seem unattainable. Especially since during his stay in Rennes he arrived in Brittany for 15 million euros. For this reason, Stuttgart is working to adjust the contract of its striker according to Sky Sports. Three options are on the table. Or a removal of the release clause with a significant salary increase for the player. Another possibility, a removal of the release clause with a part of the transfer which would go to Serhou Guirassy. The last option is an increase in Serhou Guirassy’s release clause and the player would get part of the transfer amount. Regardless, one thing is certain, Stuttgart intends to take advantage of Serhou Guirassy’s brilliant form to make significant added value during the next two windows of the transfer window. And there is no doubt that things will change for the attacker.
Already this summer, there were several clubs in the running. Ajax Amsterdam knocked on the door in vain while several Premier League teams took the temperature. Finally staying, he does not close the door to another adventure soon as in a recent interview for Bild : “my job is to play well. For everything else, I have advisors who know exactly what is best for me. My job is to help the team have a good season. It’s not really a dream. But if there is an option to move to the Premier League at some point, why not? But it’s not like I dream about it every day.” For the moment Stuttgart and Serhou Guirassy are in perfect love, but in Baden-Württemberg no one is fooled, both parties are already preparing what will best suit their respective interests.
