Dortmund's Deal for Guirassy Hits Medical Snag

Borussia Dortmund’s anticipated signing of Serhou Guirassy from Stuttgart for €18 million (£15m/$20m) has encountered an unexpected hurdle. The striker, who had been poised to join Dortmund after fending off interest from Manchester United and Bayern Munich, has hit a snag during his medical examination.

Dortmund announced on their social media platform X, stating, “During a medical examination of Serhou Guirassy, an injury was discovered that requires further investigation.” This revelation casts uncertainty over the deal’s finalization, as it remains unclear how long further tests will take or if they might jeopardize the entire transfer.

Guirassy had an impressive 2023-24 season, scoring 30 goals in 30 matches across all competitions. His only notable injury last season was a hamstring issue, but Dortmund has identified a different problem during their medical evaluation.

Dortmund is eager to resolve these medical concerns and finalize the signing to bolster their attacking options. As they look to incorporate Guirassy's prolific scoring ability into their squad, the outcome of the additional medical tests will be crucial in determining whether the deal proceeds.

The next steps for

involve conducting further medical examinations and hoping for a positive resolution to secure Guirassy’s signature. The club’s pre-season preparations will continue as they await the final verdict on this critical transfer.
