However, according to the ever-reliable Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle United’s hesitation has proven costly.
Borussia Dortmund have swooped in, triggering Guirassy’s release clause and finalizing the transfer. Romano’s signature “here we go” confirms the deal is complete.
Reports suggest that Dortmund’s move for Guirassy wasn’t a sudden decision, but rather one that had been brewing for some time.
This aligns with news of Guirassy informing Stuttgart of his desire to depart, hinting at a pre-existing agreement with another club.
With Dortmund now boasting the lethal Guinean striker, it appears Newcastle have missed a golden opportunity to bolster their attacking options.
