Last season, they had Sébastien Haller, this season it’s Niclas Füllkrug, and next season Borussia Dortmund could rely on an even more prolific striker. There is no official confirmation yet, but sources from Germany suggest that the Millionaires are seriously pursuing Serhou Guirassy. If BVB manages to bring in the Guinea international, they will become a true force in the attack, as the current Stuttgart striker has scored 28 goals in as many Bundesliga matches this season. Overall, counting other competitions, he has netted 30 goals in 30 matches. It seems that since the era of Erling Haaland, no striker of such caliber has worn Borussia’s jersey.No player has ever opened the scoring more times in a single Bundesliga season than Serhou Guirassy in 2023/24 (12). He has now scored 39 goals in just 50 Bundesliga appearances for Stuttgart. ⚽ pic.twitter.com/gQAbJI1Iw0— Squawka (@Squawka) May 18, 2024 To make this happen, the club from Westphalia needs to activate the release clause of 17.5 million euros. For a striker of such capabilities, it’s a bargain. Although a few weeks ago it was mentioned that Bayern might pursue Guirassy, Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sports suggests that Dortmund is the favourite to sign him. However, Plettenberg notes that while Borussia is determined to secure his services, Guirassy himself wants to be sure which coach (as Bayern’s coach is still uncertain, while Edin Terzić remains at Dortmund) and style of play would suit him better. Borussia does not want to part with Füllkrug but rather aims to have two good centre-forwards available simultaneously to avoid relying on just one due to potential injuries or suspensions.Guinean beast has been terrorizing Bundesliga, and AC Milan are desperate to ink himStuttgart, likely reconciled with the departure of Guirassy, will not spend the whole sum on a new striker. In fact, they have already signed a replacement in Nick Woltemade, who joined for free after his contract with Werder Bremen expired. Additionally, they are expected to sign defensive midfielder Yannik Keitel from Freiburg and left winger Justin Diehl from Cologne, both of whom are also free agents. Stuttgart might use some of the funds to pay Cologne for defender Jeff Chabot and to buy Deniz Undav from Brighton, who has proven to be a great attacking option. While not as prolific as Guirassy, Undav is still a solid choice.When you buy a beer for 80.000 peopleWhat’s particularly interesting is the news that Stuttgart is looking to bring in Vangelis Pavlidis. The 25-year-old Greek had a spectacular season with AZ Alkmaar, tying with Luuk de Jong of PSV as the top scorer in the Eredivisie with 29 goals. A move to the Bundesliga seems very likely for him.##NAJAVA_MECA_8117669##
