VfB Stuttgart cannot rule out that Nottingham Forest target Serhou Guirassy will leave the club in the January transfer window, as it would guarantee them more money.
That’s according to BILD, who cover the player today and again insist that Nottingham Forest are one of the teams to have ‘already kept an eye’ on the striker.
Guirassy has started this season on fire, bagging a record 13 goals in seven games so far to top the Bundesliga goalscoring charts and put Stuttgart second in the Bundesliga with 18 points from seven games.
It’s an impressive turnaround for a player who managed 11 goals in 22 games in the league last season and has, predictably, led to plenty of speculation about his future.
Nottingham Forest were linked with a move in the summer transfer window and have been credited with an interest since, with it reported that they could make a concrete move in January or beyond.
BILD continue that today and say Guirassy’s future is of concern to everyone at Stuttgart, who don’t want to lose him if they can avoid it.
They know that if he continues his current form that €20m fee in the summer would be a bargain for someone and so a January departure ‘cannot currently be ruled out’.
That’s because, above anything else, it provides Stuttgart with a chance to get ‘significantly more money’ for the striker because his release clause isn’t active.
In other words, if Nottingham Forest want to make a move in the winter window and offer above €20m, they’ll find the German side more than accommodating despite the fact losing Guirassy would be a bitter blow.
