VfB Stuttgart: Guirassy can use the exit clause until the start of the Bundesliga

VfB prepared for departures

At the end of May, shortly before the relegation first leg, VfB Stuttgart signed Serhou Guirassy, ​​who had previously been on loan, from FC Stade Rennes for 9 million euros – only two purchases by the Swabians were more expensive. However, it is not certain that the 27-year-old will continue to hunt for goals for VfB in the coming season. Guirassy has an exit clause in his contract, which runs until 2026.

As the “Kicker” reports, the Guinean international could leave VfB for a sum of between 15 million and 20 million euros. Stuttgart will probably have to worry about their top scorer, who scored 14 goals in 28 games last season, until the very end. The clause is said to be valid until August 20, one day after the first Bundesliga game against VfL Bochum. By the deadline on September 1st, VfB would then be in control again and could negotiate the transfer fee themselves.

There are still no concrete negotiations, but there have been initial inquiries from the player side. Ajax Amsterdam is said to be among those interested, which only has a regular center forward in the squad with ex-Leipzig player Brian Brobbey (21). Since May, Sven Mislintat has been responsible for squad planning as technical director at the Dutch record champions, and he brought Guirassy to Stuttgart as VfB sporting director last summer.

The attacker has so far canceled all interested parties and dreams of the Premier League, writes the magazine. In addition to Guirassy, ​​other top performers could leave VfB late. Borna Sosa (25) and Konstantinos Mavropanos (25) are said to have submitted their change request, but there are no concrete offers. Hiroki Ito (24) or Waldemar Anton (27), who is said to be in demand at Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, are also being courted.

So, the statement about the amount of the release clause between 15 and 20 million. seems very vague to me, and more of an estimated range. August 20 as a deadline would be absolutely negligent!
There is a very significant difference between 15 and 20 million, with 15 being ridiculously small and 20 being at least necessary, given the short time available and given the knowledge of the negotiating partners about the revenue.
Above all, the short time forces you to compromise, what is still on the market …

VfB Stuttgart prepared for possible departures from Guirassy & Co

If the worst comes to the worst, they are ready, said sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth, who is said to have already made contacts. “It is normal for almost every club in the Bundesliga that players like this in particular could leave their clubs by the end of a transfer period,” said coach Sebastian Hoeneß. “I am optimistic that we will have a powerful squad. We’ll see what that looks like exactly. There’s no point worrying about it now. We are prepared. Regardless of that, as a coach you naturally hope to be able to keep the best players.”
