Dortmund Intends to Keep Serhou Guirassy but Will Delay His Contract Talks

Prioritising renewals for other key players creates a tighter window to extend the striker before his deal nears its final year.

Dortmund will den Vertrag seines Torjägers vorzeitig verlängern.

Overview

  • A BILD 'Dortmund Insider' podcast reported Saturday that Borussia Dortmund plans to open formal extension talks with Serhou Guirassy in early 2027 after signing new deals for Waldemar Anton, Gregor Kobel and Julian Ryerson.
  • Guirassy, 30, has re-established himself as a mainstay in Dortmund’s attack, scoring seven goals and providing two assists in his first 12 appearances this season.
  • The club says it wants to keep Guirassy long term, but his current contract runs until 2028 so Dortmund feels it can sequence talks rather than rush a renewal.
  • Delaying negotiations creates risk because Guirassy would enter his final contract year in summer 2027, which could increase his transfer leverage if outside clubs show interest.
  • SPORT BILD reports the forward feels comfortable at Dortmund and is open to extending, but continued high-level form or new offers could change the situation and require Dortmund to promise sporting prospects to retain him.
