Guirassy’s Dortmund Release Clause To Drop Again in 2026, Excluding Saudi Clubs
A year-by-year buyout that excludes Saudi clubs gives European suitors a clearer path.
Overview
- Sky Germany reports the 29-year-old’s release clause will decrease again in 2026 as part of a stepping deal that runs to 2028.
- The previous selective clause worth roughly €65–70 million expired in the summer, with a similar option expected to be valid next summer at a lower price.
- Saudi clubs are not covered by the clause, so any Pro League move would require separate negotiations with Dortmund.
- Barcelona are monitoring him as a possible successor to Robert Lewandowski, while coach Niko Kovac says Guirassy remains very important and focused.
- A separate Spanish report claims Real Madrid or Barcelona could trigger a €65 million clause versus €100 million for others, underscoring conflicting valuations being reported.
