In a recent update from Fabrizio Romano, it’s been confirmed that Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy, a sought-after striker, will be up for grabs at a mere $17.5 million (£13.85m) when the summer transfer window opens. This news comes amidst speculation from clubs like West Ham, Manchester United, and AC Milan, all of which showed interest in the player during the January transfer period.
Writing in his Daily Briefing column this Wednesday (7 February), Romano highlighted that although the interest from these clubs could evolve, Guirassy’s attractive release clause is set to remain intact in his contract until the season concludes.
West Ham’s Transfer Woes Continue
Guirassy, with an impressive tally of 17 goals in just 14 Bundesliga games this season, would be a stellar acquisition for any team, especially at such a bargain price. The fact that no club has yet secured his signature is surprising, to say the least.
West Ham, in particular, has had a challenging transfer window, failing to finalize deals for several attacking targets. This has led to a palpable sense of disappointment among fans, especially following the departures of Pablo Fornals and Said Benrahma.
The extent of West Ham’s interest in Guirassy is not entirely clear. However, the question looms: if he was available, why wasn’t an offer made?
Looking ahead, securing a forward who can consistently score 15 or more goals is crucial for the team. Guirassy could be the solution they need, positioning Manchester United to potentially outmaneuver rivals for his signature come summer.
