In recent years, Serhou Guirassy has made a name for himself as one of European football’s most dependable and regular attackers. Since joining Borussia Dortmund in 2024, the 29-year-old centre-forward has been a standout player for the team; he even finished his first season as the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League.
As a result, the Guinean attacker may soon make a significant move; FC Barcelona is one of the teams expressing interest in him. It has now been revealed that Guirassy’s contract contains a specific release provision that would only apply to seven premier teams in Europe.
In fact, if any of the following seven teams—Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United—call, the striker may leave Borussia Dortmund for €50 million, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany. This implies that Real Madrid could sign the Guinean international for under €50 million if they wanted to do so the following year.
Guirassy’s special release clause for elite clubs, including Real Madrid
Guirassy has now scored nine goals and provided three assists for Dortmund across all competitions this season, and his overall recent performance has been really good. Guirassy has a €50m provision for specified teams, and we were informed this might also become active in January, though Plettenberg says this is more one to monitor until the summer.
If Real Madrid wanted to sign the Guinean international next year, they could do it for under €50 million. But as of right now, neither Guirassy nor any other striker has piqued the curiosity of the Spanish capital heavyweights. Gonzalo Garcia is Xabi Alonso’s backup, while Kylian Mbappe is flourishing as the team’s main attacking player.
Even though Endrick hasn’t featured much this season and is expected to go on loan to Olympique Lyon in January, Real Madrid is also placing long-term bets on the young player. Guirassy is probably necessary for Arsenal, Chelsea, and United at this time to offer them additional choices up front.
