The First Decision Regarding Serhou Guirassy's Future Has Been Made Clear

Guirassy's Future at BVB Remains Uncertain

Serhou Guirassy's future at Borussia Dortmund remains uncertain. However, there are now initial concrete signs that the forward will play for BVB next season. This is due to the expiration of the release clause in his contract.

Release Clause Expired Without Being Used

According to Sport Bild, Serhou Guirassy's release clause in his contract expired on Wednesday (July 15). This clause allowed the player to transfer to a top club for a fixed fee of approximately 35 million euros. However, it seems this option was not utilized. The report states that the Guinean player has not given any signals so far that he wants to play for another club next season.

Transfer Possibility Not Completely Off the Table

Still, the possibility of a transfer is not completely off the table at this time. According to the sports tabloid, Dortmund's management is fundamentally open to discussions if an offer exceeding the release clause comes in. The report suggests that such a scenario is expected to come from clubs in Saudi Arabia.

BVB Preparing for a Possible Departure

If Serhou Guirassy truly wants to leave the club, BVB is preparing for various scenarios. Should a departure come up in the near future, the name that sporting director Ole Book wants is Fisnik Asllani. However, there is a problem: the TSG Hoffenheim forward may soon be taken off the market. This is due to increasing interest from RB Leipzig in the Kosovar player, who does not seem to be opposed to a transfer to Leipzig.

If the Asllani option falls through before Serhou Guirassy leaves the club, Fabio Silva will be the forward's potential successor.

Conclusion

The expiration of the release clause without being used has become the first concrete indication that Guirassy is likely to stay at BVB next season. However, a high offer from clubs in Saudi Arabia could still change this scenario — in that case, it appears the club has already prepared a backup plan with names like Asllani or Silva.
