Serhou Guirassy’s deal to Nottingham Forest is “confirmed,” according to reports.
The latest on Nottingham Forest transfers, as Manchester United and Newcastle are rumored to be interested in Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy, who is apparently linked to a move to the City Ground.
The fee Nottingham Forest will need to pay to sign Serhou Guirassy this summer has been disclosed.
In recent months, Forest has been strongly connected to acquiring the Stuttgart striker, particularly during the January transfer window. There have also been reports of interest in the 27-year-old forward from Manchester United and Newcastle.
Over the past two weeks, Guirassy has been playing for Guinea at the Africa Cup of Nations. In his three tournament appearances for his nation, he was unable to score as they were defeated by DR Congo in the quarterfinals.
Forest is still being linked to a bid for the forward, even after the Premier League clubs’ January transfer market closed. As we approach the second half of the season, journalist Fabrizio Romano has now given an update on Guirassy’s future.
The article claims that Guirassy had a release clause worth €17.5 million (£15 million) that no team used during the January transfer window. Additionally, it has been reported that the same provision will be in effect throughout the summer. Should the striker maintain the form he displayed in the first half of the season, this might attract a lot of interest in him.
In 16 appearances across all competitions for Stuttgart this season, Guirassy has scored 19 goals. Thanks to his performance, the team has moved up to third position in the Bundesliga, ten points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen and twelve behind second-place Bayern Munich.
Forest signed three new players during the busy January transfer window. Nuno Espirito Santo expanded his team with the addition of midfielder Gio Reyna, goalkeeper Matz Sels, and forward Rodrigo Ribeiro.
Chris Wood’s injury to his hamstring was a setback to the Reds. His recuperation has not been given a specific time frame, although preliminary concerns indicated the striker would miss up to two months of action.
