Borussia Dortmund continues its reconstruction. Coming out of a contrasting 2023-2024 season, marked by a great epic in the Champions League but also by a disappointing fifth place in the Bundesliga standings, a major project awaited the Ruhr club. Under the leadership of Nuri Sahin, propelled to the head of the Marsupials following the resignation of Edin Terzic, BvB intended to be active on the transfer market. Eager to strengthen its defense following the departure of its leader Mats Hummels, Dortmund signed Waldemar Anton from VfB Stuttgart. Far from being satisfied, the unfortunate finalist of the last C1 wanted to continue its shopping in Baden-Württemberg.
Indeed, Borussia Dortmund has made recruiting a center forward one of its priorities for this summer transfer window and has very quickly looked into the profile of Serhou Guirassy, who officiates at Stuttgart. Announced in the sights of many European big names including Manchester United and especially AC Milan, the main person concerned expressed, once the 2023-2024 edition was over, his desire to move to the Ruhr to continue his career with the residents of Signal Iduna Park. After obtaining the agreement of the Guinean international (18 caps, 3 goals), the last 5th in the Bundesliga agreed to pay the release clause of the Arles native, the amount of which amounts to simply 17.5 million euros.
Dortmund strikes a big blow in the transfer window with Serhou Guirassy!
Although his arrival in the Ruhr was delayed due to an injury detected during his medical on July 10, Borussia Dortmund has not abandoned his transfer. As expected for many weeks, the Guinean has indeed signed with the Marsupials for a period of four years, until June 2028, as confirmed by the following press release: “This Thursday, Serhou Guirassy (28 years old) signed an employment contract valid until June 30, 2028. The Guinean international striker, born in Arles in France, joins BVB from VfB Stuttgart.»
Trained in Laval before having a series of more or less successful experiences in France with Lille, Amiens and Rennes, it was finally across the Rhine that Serhou Guirassy found his cruising speed. A time on loan from the Breton club before being permanently transferred to Stuttgart, the Syli National striker has truly confirmed his potential this season. Thanks to his 30 goals in 30 matches in all competitions, Serhou Guirassy was one of the main architects of Stuttgart’s second place in the Bundesliga – right under Bayern Munich’s nose – which meant qualification for the Champions League. It now remains to be seen whether the 28-year-old will continue his momentum at a club that has big ambitions for the coming season.
