Serhou Guirassy has been playing professional football for ten years, he was considered a solid striker and then ‘exploded’ and became a name that European greats are buzzing about.It is hard to explain how the Stuttgart striker became such a goal-scoring machine at 27. Time will tell if he is just a passing sensation who got lucky or if he has truly matured as a scorer. But until then, the hunt for his signature will continue.This season, Guirassy scored 18 goals in 13 games for Stuttgart, scoring a goal every 58 minutes, and the buyout clause of only 17,500,000 euros made him an even more attractive target for interested clubs that lack a striker. Borussia Dortmund joined that list.##NAJAVA_MECA_7738443##The Millionaires from Westphalia have three strikers under contracts until 2026 but want to bring in one more. Niclas Füllkrug, Sebastián Haller and Youssoufa Moukoko are options in the ‘no.9′ position, but for now they are not convincing. Füllkrug shares first place in the club’s scorers’ list with six goals, Haller is far from his former form, while young Moukoko is still trying to find himself in the first team. Borussia would have to get rid of one of the mentioned three in January if they want to bring Guirassy, and Haller has the best chance to leave.Borussia will have to compete with interested clubs such as Newcastle, AC Milan and Manchester United, but they have trumps up their sleeve. The biggest one, Guirassy’s agent Moussa Sissoko, who has been in good relations with Borussia and the club’s first man Hans Joachim Watzke for years. As an agent, Sissoko previously mediated the transfers of Ousmane Dembele and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with whom Borussia had great experiences. Now he could be a key ally in convincing Guirassy.According to Bild, the Stuttgart striker will not be very picky as long as he is satisfied with the financial part of the offer. And Borussia are ready to double his salary compared to the one he has in the city of Mercedes. BVB offers him an annual salary of 7,000,000 euros.Serhou Guirassy (27) has rejected a new offer of his Club. VfB Stuttgart tried to buy his Release clause (€17,5 Mio) from him. Guirassy is ready for the next step. Interested Clubs: Manchester United, Newcastle, Borussia Dortmund @ManUtd @NUFC @BVB— Christian Falk (@cfbayern) December 13, 2023 Guirassy was born and raised in France but plays for the national team of Guinea, where he stems his roots from. He grew up in Laval, also played for Lille, Auxerre, Cologne, Amiens and Rennes and only once until last season had a double-digit goalscoring performance in the championship season. It was in Rennes in the 2020/21 season when he scored 10 goals. Stuttgart took him on loan last season, he scored 11 goals in 22 matches, which was enough to buy him out fully. And then this season came the ‘explosion’…
