Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy has admitted he can see himself playing for Borussia Dortmund next season amid interest from clubs across Europe.
Guirassy is a transfer target for clubs in the Premier League and across Europe after a brilliant season at Stuttgart, with the 28-year-old scoring 28 goals in 28 league appearances to fire the German side to Champions League qualification.
A release clause in the Guinea international’s contract means he can leave the MHPArena for a fee of just €17.5m (£14.73m) this summer, which has sparked a scramble for his services.
Borussia Dortmund are said to be leading the chase and Guirassy has admitted he can envisage himself at the Westfalenstadion next season.
“Definitely. It’s a very big club. But nothing is advanced, I’m still under contract with VfB (…) Now it’s time for a vacation. We’ll know in a few weeks what will happen,” Guirassy told Sky.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, West Ham and Newcastle have all been linked with Guirassy, who finished as runner-up to Harry Kane in the race for the European Golden Shoe in 2023-24.
Stuttgart are facing a fight to keep hold of their top talent after a shock second-placed finish in the Bundesliga, with Bayern Munich having completed the signing of Hiroki Ito. There’s also significant interest in winger Chris Führich from clubs in England and Germany.
