Almost three weeks of uncertainty, additional examinations, analyses, deliberations and finally – a positive epilogue. Serhou Guirassy is a new Borussia player, although at the beginning of July, it seemed that an injury discovered during medical checks could spoil and stand in the way of a transfer from Stuttgart to Dortmund. When, after a series of new evaluations and expertise, the Millionaires realized that the goal scorer from Guinea does not have a problem with his knee, and that the rehabilitation period will not exceed a month, they decided to go all the way and activate the exit clause set at 17,500,000 euros.There are many who believe that Guirassy, the 28-year-old revelation who dominated the Bundesliga for one season will struggle to repeat a similar competitive year after signing a four-year contract with the Champions League runners-up. That there is no way he can replicate a year in which he delivered 28 league goals and a total of 30 in all competitions. Never before, both in the elite and other ranks, has he scored more than 11 league goals in a season.@VfB ❤️🫱🏿🫲🏼 pic.twitter.com/H06VOloUJe— Serhou Guirassy (@Guirassy_19) July 18, 2024 So the main question is whether the Guinean is Dortmund’s gamble or a potential jackpot. Although, it cannot be said that the risk is too great since the compensation is not very expensive. BVB paid Werder Bremen an almost identical amount a year ago for Niclas Fullkrug after a season in which the German scored 16 and set up five goals in the Bundesliga, and before that he played in the second tier. Judging by that, Guirassy is no riskier purchase. And speaking of the German national team striker, the arrival of the Bundesliga’s second top scorer from last season probably opens the exit door to Westfalen for Fullkrug and pushes him closer to AC Milan.##NAJAVA_MECA_8219286##Guirassy is now the centre of attention. What a season he had in 2023/24 and now deservedly got himself a move to one of the biggest German clubs.”I came here to win titles. That is my goal, what drives me. The club showed what it is ready for when it reached the final of the Champions League last year,” said the former player of Rennes, Amiens, Cologne, Lille and Auxerre.The guy whose market value after the sensational season grew to 40,000,000 euros (according to the estimate of the specialized Transfermarkt), will continue his journey towards the Bundesliga jubilee. If injuries bypass him, Guirassy could break the mark of 100 games in the elite ranks of German football. He is currently at number 71 and has scored 43 goals.Borussia Dortmund have strengthened their attack with the signing of 28-year-old Serhou Guirassy from VfB Stuttgart 🙌The Guinea international striker has signed a four-year contract ✍️ pic.twitter.com/PG63gMZhJr— Borussia Dortmund (@BlackYellow) July 18, 2024
