Serhou Guirassy linked with Fulham as bargain release clause revealed

Some big news from yesterday is that Serhou Guirassy’s release clause at Stuttgart is just €17.5m. The Guinea international has been probably the player of the season in Germany this year, scoring a remarkable 14 goals in just eight Bundesliga games.

Guirassy has been fantastic, he’s a goal machine, and now many clubs are monitoring him in Germany, England and Italy. It’s hard to believe, but yes his release clause really is just €17.5m - an incredible opportunity on the market. I can confirm that this clause is valid in January and in the summer, it’s always available, so he’s on the market - of course Stuttgart want to keep him, but this clause means the player will have the final say.
