Football-Bundesliga - Hanging partada finished: Guirassy switches from Stuttgart to Dortmund
According to Captain Waldemar Anton, Serhou Guirassy is changing teams within the Bundesliga from VfB Stuttgart to Borussia Dortmund. The transfer is perfect after a lengthy negotiation, with the Guinean national striker receiving a contract at Borussia Dortmund until June 30, 2028. Guirassy is leaving thanks to a buyout clause reportedly worth 18 million Euro.
Emotional words for VfB and fans
"I had the best two years of my career here," said the 28-year-old in a statement from VfB. In social media, he thanked the Stuttgart fans for their support and described the decision to leave as "the hardest" of his career.
A failed medical check-up in the previous week had delayed the Borussia Dortmund agreement with Guirassy. According to another examination, the striker's injured knee does not require surgery. Doctors estimate that he will likely be fit for action again this summer, Borussia announced.
Wohlgemuth honors "outstanding athlete"
Guirassy has played for VfB since September 2022. In the previous season, he contributed significantly with 28 goals in 28 league games, helping the Swabians make the leap from a relegation candidate to a Champions League participant within a year.
The striker showed himself to be a "great sportsman" until his last day at VfB, said Sporting Director Fabian Wohlgemuth. "We always had an open exchange about his future sports plans in mutual trust." We made great efforts to convince him to stay.
