Serhou Guirassy has launched a scathing assessment of Borussia Dortmund's disappointing campaign, suggesting the striker's frustration may accelerate his widely-anticipated summer departure. Speaking candidly about a season that yielded zero trophies, the Guinean international offered little optimism about his future at the Bundesliga runners-up.
Guirassy pulled no punches when reflecting on his highlights from the 2024-25 season. "To be honest, there wasn't much, because we didn't win anything," he told reporters. "We were knocked out of the cup, we were knocked out of the Champions League – so there weren't many great moments." The striker emphasized that finishing second in the Bundesliga falls short of expectations at a club of Dortmund's stature, highlighting failures across domestic and European competitions.
Transfer Window Momentum Building
The 30-year-old forward has become the subject of intense transfer speculation, with multiple outlets reporting significant progress in negotiations with Fenerbahce. Turkish club president Sadettin Saran reportedly met face-to-face with Guirassy, and reports indicate a "basic agreement" is already in place. Despite his contract running until 2028, sources claim the striker has made his decision to leave this summer.
While Real Madrid and Manchester City have not activated his €40 million release clause, several prominent European clubs are monitoring developments. Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan join Fenerbahce in expressing interest in the forward's availability. Guirassy arrived at Dortmund from VfB Stuttgart in 2024 for €18 million and delivered immediately, scoring 38 goals with nine assists in his debut campaign. This season proved more challenging, though he still managed 22 goals and six assists across 46 competitive matches.
His blunt assessment of Dortmund's campaign signals that patience may be wearing thin at the Westfalenstadion. With elite European clubs circling and trophy ambitions unfulfilled, Guirassy appears primed for a fresh challenge before the 2025-26 season begins.
