Chelsea appear to be in pole position to sign red-hot striker Serhou Guirassy from Borussia Dortmund, as the Blues continue their search for a proven No.9 ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to Italian journalist Maurizio Russo, the West London club are ahead of the pack in the chase for Guirassy—who is attracting interest from several European heavyweights including Napoli and Juventus.
Guirassy’s Goal Scoring Form Turns Heads
The 28-year-old Guinean international has been electric this season, bagging 15 Bundesliga goals and another 13 in the Champions League. His sensational hat-trick against Barcelona in the quarter-finals was a major statement, thrusting him firmly into the spotlight and making him one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe.
After an impressive stint at Stuttgart, Guirassy joined Dortmund as a smart pick-up to replace Niclas Füllkrug. He’s exceeded expectations—and now a move to Stamford Bridge could be on the cards, with Chelsea eager to bolster their attack.
€70M Release Clause: A Gamble Worth Taking?
Chelsea have been crying out for a clinical striker, with Nicolas Jackson failing to consistently deliver the goals. Guirassy, who has a €70 million release clause, could be the short-to-medium term solution the Blues desperately need. While Chelsea are also monitoring other options like Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap and Sporting’s Viktor Gyökeres, Guirassy’s experience and current form give him the edge.
Whether Todd Boehly’s side trigger his clause or negotiate a lower fee, one thing is certain—Chelsea are serious about bringing firepower back to the Bridge.
