While Olivier Giroud, 37, has not yet extended his contract with AC Milan, the Rossoneri leaders are targeting a center forward in great shape: Serhou Guirassy, who is on fire with Stuttgart.
Here we go again for a trip to AC Milan. Looking for a world-class center forward last summer, in order to support Olivier Giroud at the end, the Lombard club decided not to break the bank for John David (Losc wanted 50 to 60 millions of euros). The offensive sector has been strengthened in a more reasonable way, with the arrivals of Noah Okafor, Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze, all of whom cost 20 million or less.
Milan wants to be smart in 2024 to recruit a new number 9, while Giroud, 37, is under contract until next June for the moment (he could extend or leave, with MLS a possible destination) . It is Serhou Guirassy who would be in the sights of the leaders, while the former Amiens and Rennais, 27 years old, is panicking the counters in Germany. His 17 goals in the Bundesliga allowed Stuttgart to move into third position behind Leverkusen and Bayern.
He should not leave Stuttgart
Guirassy is not expected to leave VfB this winter, when he will play the African Cup of Nations (January 13-February 11) with Guinea, against Cameroon, Gambia and Senegal. Alexander Wehrle, the managing director of Stuttgart, interviewed in Bildsays his star striker is feeling good and will finish the season in Baden-Württemberg.
A departure next summer could be on the agenda for Guirassy, who would make a quality attacking partner for Rafael Leao at AC Milan, like a pivot like Giroud. The player trained at Stade Lavallois (born in Arles, he grew up in Montargis) spares no effort, standing 1.87 m tall. Its market value would be 40 million euros.
