Fabrizio Romano confirms top club will compete with Tottenham for Bundesliga star
By Manuel Meza
In the ever-intense world of football transfer rumors, Fabrizio Romano has dealt Tottenham Hotspur a blow by revealing Borussia Dortmund's heightened interest in Serhou Guirassy.
Guirassy's stellar performance throughout the 2023-24 season, boasting an extraordinary goals-to-games ratio, has made him a coveted asset. With a release clause of just £15m, it's no surprise that speculation surrounding his future has reached a fever pitch in recent weeks.
Among the clubs eyeing the center-forward, Tottenham has been prominent. Ange Postecoglou reportedly gave the green light for Spurs to pursue the Guinea international, drawn by his affordability compared to other striker targets.
However, Romano's revelations have shifted the landscape. The journalist initially disclosed Dortmund's contact with Guirassy's entourage, and now, he confirms that the German club is actively pushing to advance talks for the number nine.

According to Romano, Dortmund is not alone in their pursuit, as several clubs are poised to trigger Guirassy's release clause. The Bundesliga giants have identified him as a priority target for the summer transfer window, intensifying the competition for his signature.
While Tottenham's interest remains, their chances of securing Guirassy's services appear slim amidst fierce competition. With numerous suitors vying for his attention, it's unlikely that Spurs will solely focus on Guirassy in their summer recruitment efforts.
As the transfer saga unfolds, Tottenham faces a challenging task in navigating the increasingly competitive market.
While Guirassy's allure is undeniable, the emergence of Dortmund as a contender adds another layer of complexity to their pursuit. With limited resources and a plethora of needs to address in their squad, Spurs' transfer strategy must be strategic and adaptable.
Will they pursue alternative targets or double down on their pursuit of Guirassy?
