PSG Eyes Dortmund’s Guirassy as Top Summer Target, but Transfer Faces Key Hurdles

Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy has caught the attention of Paris Saint-Germain following a sensational debut season, but a summer transfer to the French capital may hinge on Borussia Dortmund’s Champions League fate.

According to a report by Bild, PSG head coach Luis Enrique has made the 29-year-old Guinean international his number one transfer target as he looks to bolster the French champions’ attacking options ahead of the 2025/26 season.

The Spaniard is said to admire Guirassy’s physicality, finishing ability, and consistency in front of goal, seeing him as a potential successor to Randal Kolo Muani, who has failed to fully convince since his arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Guirassy has been nothing short of prolific since joining Dortmund from VfB Stuttgart last summer. The forward has netted 33 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions, seamlessly adapting to Edin Terzić’s system and becoming a key figure in the club’s domestic and European campaigns. His sharp movement and clinical instincts have made him one of the most feared forwards in the Bundesliga.

Unsurprisingly, his red-hot form has generated interest across Europe, but PSG’s pursuit faces significant complications. While Guirassy’s current contract at Dortmund includes a release clause valued at approximately €70 million, Bild reports that the clause is only accessible to a limited group of clubs — and PSG is not among them.

This caveat means any potential move would require direct negotiations with Dortmund and the player’s agreement, rather than a straightforward activation of the clause.

Adding to the complexity is Dortmund’s push for Champions League qualification. Sources suggest that Guirassy is fully committed to the club, but should Dortmund fail to secure a top-four finish in the Bundesliga, he may be more open to exploring a move away.

In that case, PSG could find themselves in a stronger position to tempt the striker with the promise of Champions League football and the chance to play in his native France.

As it stands, Dortmund are locked in a tight battle for the final Champions League spots, with competition fierce from RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen.

With just one matchweek remaining, their fate remains uncertain — and could ultimately shape the direction of the summer transfer window for both Guirassy and PSG.

Guirassy’s camp has remained silent on the transfer speculation so far, and Borussia Dortmund have not issued any public comment regarding PSG’s reported interest.

Club insiders, however, maintain that Guirassy remains an integral part of their long-term project and that they are under no pressure to sell, especially if the team secures Champions League football.

Should PSG push ahead with a formal approach, negotiations are expected to be complex and protracted — particularly given the structure of the striker’s release clause and Dortmund’s ambition to retain their top scorer.

For now, Guirassy remains focused on Dortmund’s final match of the season, which could prove decisive — both for the club’s European ambitions and for his own future.
