Last summer, Borussia Dortmund Serhou Guirassy signed with the exit clause, the top attacker could leave the black and yellow again. According to the “Sport Bild”, BVB made an exception in the course of the 29-year-old’s transfer and granted him such an exit option. In the event of a departure, BVB would be compensated with a high transfer plus.
According to the magazine, the management of Guirassys consisted of this option. Especially for the reason to be able to fulfill his dream of the Premier League to the attacker if a club in question was knocking. Therefore, this clause does not apply to every club, but for around half a dozen. These are top European club, but in particular only the Chelsea FC was called. The consultant gave the selection of the clubs, it is said.
The amount of the exit clause should amount to just over 70 million euros including possible additional payments. The fixed basic amount is just below, which would mean fourth place in the Ranking of the Dortmund record sales. For comparison: In 2024, BVB had “only” transferred 18 million euros to VfB Stuttgart for Guirassy. Its market value amounts to 40 million euros.
Guirassy’s exit clause only valid after a club World Cup
It is also important for Borussia that the clause can only be activated after the club World Cup, which takes place in the USA from June 14 to July 13. Although the attacker feels very comfortable with BVB, he could go again after only one year and despite working paper until 2028, the association should not qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 2015/16. Because the Guineer is entitled to show his skill in the premier class every year in a more mature age.
As this year: Guirassy set up a club record with its goals against FC Barcelona. Never before in Dortmund’s story, a player has booked more than ten goals in a Champions League season. Guirassy is also the first African footballer to score more than eleven goals in a royal class.
