The Situation of Serhou Guirassy and Dortmund's Demands in Germany

The 30-year-old forward has a contract signed with Dortmund that extends until June 2028. Although in the previous summer transfer window the Guinean international had a release clause of 40 million euros, this option expired at the close of the window, leaving the final price determination in the hands of the German executives.

Borussia Dortmund has no intention of granting facilities or discounts for a transfer mid-season in 2026-2027. The club's board considers the striker an essential piece to compete for the Bundesliga title and progress in European knockout rounds, rejecting a winter exit unless an exorbitant financial proposal is presented.

Manchester United's Offensive Needs in the Premier League

The Manchester United sports management has been monitoring the forward since 2023 when he excelled at Stuttgart before his arrival in Westphalia. Doubts about Sesko's physical continuity require the technical secretariat to seek alternatives with immediate experience in European leagues to provide more depth to Michael Carrick's squad.

Despite the player's environment receiving inquiries from clubs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia months ago, Manchester United has not initiated formal negotiations. The board will evaluate the first-team goal balance over the next two months before deciding whether to make an official offer. Manchester United scouts will monitor Dortmund's matches both in the domestic league and the UEFA Champions League during October and November 2026.

The coaching staff led by Michael Carrick continues to consider the winter transfer market, where they will seek to solve their striker problem due to Sesko's low form. If they confirm the need to hire a center forward, they will establish contact with Guirassy and his environment to try to secure his signing.
