Seven European clubs including Real Madrid and Barcelona are lining up to sign Guinea international Serhou Guirassy as the summer transfer window approaches.
Also, five English clubs, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool have expressed interest to snap up the highly-rated attacker.
Arsenal have recently emerged as one of the competitors to sign the striker as they seek to strengthen their attack for the new season. However, the Gunner are expected to renew their interest in the in-from attacker heading into the summer window.
Despite huge release clause of 70 million euros, clubs are expected to battle for the signature of the Guinea international.
The 29-year-old has been a standout performer for the German club this season, scoring 15 goals in the Bundesliga campaign. Guirassy recently dominated the headlines after scoring a hat-trick to help Dortmund beat Barcelona in the Champions League.
Guirassy, who joined Dortmund for a lower transfer fee after the club exploited a clause in his contract with his former club, Stuttgart. The enterprising forward had an 18 million euros release clause, which Dortmund triggered to secure his services until 2028.
Similarly, Dortmund could also lose the highly-profiled attacker for a lower transfer fee, considering the release clause stipulated in his contract.
Despite a possible transfer in summer, Guirassy is said to be comfortable in Dortmund, where he lives with his wife and children near the team’s stadium. The ambitious attacker wants to participate in the Champions League permanently.
Dortmund is in danger of not qualifying for the Champions League next season, as the team is ranked eighth with 42 points, five points away from the qualifying places for this prestigious European competition.
