serhou guirassy

Serhou Guirassy was pivotal in Borussia Dortmund’s 2-1 victory over CF Monterrey in the round of 16 at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, scoring both goals and being named player of the match. He dominated the first half, netting goals in the 12th and 24th minutes, and praised his team’s mentality in the post-match interview. Guirassy highlighted the challenge of facing a defensively strong Monterrey side and veteran defender Sergio Ramos, describing the experience as “good” and commending Ramos as “a great man” and “a really good guy.” Looking ahead, Guirassy expects a “very tough game” against Real Madrid in the quarterfinals[1].

His performance earned praise as the epitome of a classic No. 9, with both goals assisted by Karim Adeyemi. Guirassy has now scored three times in four Club World Cup matches and has put away 37 goals across all competitions in his first season with Dortmund[3]. With 33 goals in all competitions this season, Guirassy has cemented his place as a key asset for BVB[2].

Transfer rumors remain prominent, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly interested; however, a summer transfer is viewed as unlikely. Guirassy has a release clause, rumored to be between €60m and €75m, but it can only be activated after the Club World Cup and by a select group of top clubs—including Real Madrid, Barcelona, and several Premier League teams (Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal). Both BVB’s management and the player himself are reportedly content, making a transfer this summer improbable[2][4].

Other Premier League clubs, such as Chelsea, have also been linked to Guirassy, with reports of potential offers around €70 million, but Dortmund remains determined to retain their star forward[6]. Guirassy joined Dortmund from VfB Stuttgart for €18 million last summer and has quickly proven to be one of the most successful Bundesliga transfers of the season[8].
