Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy could be on the move again, with TEAMtalk reporting that the prolific 29-year-old is preparing to explore his options ahead of the January transfer window.
Guirassy is attracting huge attention due to a release clause in his contract – one that the European giants are already preparing to trigger.
Guirassy has established himself as one of Europe’s most reliable finishers over the past two seasons.
The striker has scored seven goals in 15 appearances in all competitions this season.
He scored 38 goals in 50 matches in all competitions last season.
Serhou Guirassy has a release clause in his contract
With a modest release clause expected to be activated in January, clubs at the very top of the Premier League food chain are being contacted about a potential deal.
TEAMtalk names Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United among the clubs who could be offered the chance to sign Guirassy.
Liverpool are exploring the depth behind Alexander Isak as the Swede continues to struggle with his fitness.
Arsenal remain on the hunt for a clinical and experienced striker to rival Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz. However, it is clear that Viktor Gyokeres remains their starting striker.
Manchester City want more rotation depth behind Erling Haaland in what is expected to be a long and demanding season.
Chelsea are looking to resolve their long-standing centre-forward problem and view Guirassy as a short-term option but with guaranteed goals.
Man United’s interest is complicated, however. Even though the Red Devils value Guirassy’s abilities and experience, their level of involvement in the race will depend entirely on how his signing would affect Benjamin Sesko’s development and minutes.
The Slovenian striker only joined the Red Devils during the summer transfer window and signing a new striker could harm his development.
Liverpool, Man United and Arsenal face Saudi competition
To further add to the intrigue, transfer expert Nicolo Schira reports that Guirassy has a lucrative offer waiting for him outside of Europe.
A Saudi club is reportedly ‘ready’ to present a three-year contract worth €20 million per season, making a staggering total of €60 million.
Although such an offer could tempt many players, Guirassy would still prefer to compete in Europe’s top leagues.
