Injured in the thigh and ruled out for Guinea, Serhou Guirassy sees Borussia Dortmund preparing an extension until 2030, according to Sport BILD. The 30-year-old player is making his decision conditional on the BVB’s ability to compete for titles.
Borussia Dortmund must cope without Serhou Guirassy for several weeks. Medical examinations confirmed a muscle injury to the thigh, with an estimated absence of four to six weeks, the German club announced. The player will therefore miss Guinea’s two matches against Eritrea, and head coach Paulo Duarte has called up Kerfala Cissoko, of FK Rodina Moscow, as cover.
But the Guinean international’s news is not limited to the treatment room. According to Sport BILD, relayed by OneFootball and BVBWLD, Borussia Dortmund is working on extending his contract until 2030, while the current deal runs until 2028. Concrete negotiations are expected to begin at the end of the year, the German outlet reports.
A decision tied to the club’s ambitions
At 30, Serhou Guirassy reportedly has one clear priority: competing for titles in the years to come. According to OneFootball and BVBWLD, he is making his decision conditional on the BVB’s ability to make that a reality.
The timetable set by Sport BILD places talks at the end of 2026. By then, the thigh injury adds to the picture: four to six weeks out before his return to competition.
The BVB would like Guirassy treated in Germany
Borussia Dortmund would like Guinea to release the player so he can be treated in Germany, according to Footafrica.net.
Guinea does indeed face a wave of absences for this international window. Besides Serhou Guirassy, Paulo Duarte loses Saïdou Sow, Soumaïla Sylla and Lamine Diaby-Fadiga, all injured. The call-up of Kerfala Cissoko, of FK Rodina Moscow, comes in to cover these withdrawals.
Four to six weeks before his return
Serhou Guirassy’s return to competition is estimated at between four and six weeks. The player will therefore have to wait before returning to the pitch, while his extension talks progress on the German side.
The forward’s current contract runs until 2028, and Borussia Dortmund is working on an extension until 2030, according to Sport BILD. His main motivation remains, according to OneFootball and BVBWLD, to compete for titles in the years to come.
