Storm relay handover: Moukoko on the way to Nice, Guirassy back in training!
In the past few days, Borussia Dortmund has experienced some exciting developments that make both the fans and club tour noticed. Most of the eyes are aimed at the two strikers Youssoufa Moukoko and Serhou Guirassy, which have increasingly provided talk in the past few days.
On Tuesday morning, the new coach Nuri Sahin (35) presented his team at a public training session in Brackel. Moukoko, a promising talent, was no longer present because he is apparently located in the final stage of negotiations with the French Club OGC Nice
the view of Moukoko
The situation around Moukoko is particularly exciting because previous attempts to sell the player have failed. The 19-year-old striker will now move to Nice for one year, with the French club also receiving a purchase option. This could be the final solution to a problem that has dragged on for months. Moukoko has recently been criticized, especially after a public dispute between his consultant Patrick Williams and the responsible persons of BVB.
The takeover of his salary of 8.5 million euros by Nice is a welcome financial advantage for Dortmund. This step could not only reduce salary costs, but also solve the tensions that exist between Moukoko and the association. Since the direct address of Williams regarding supposed failures and promises of the association, the relationship between the player and BVB has been tense.
In addition to the already failed transfer attempts with Olympique Marseille and Betis Sevilla, this departure to Nice shows how important it is for Moukoko and the association to create a clear perspective.
Guirassys comeback
On the other side of the square, Serhou Guirassy (28), who recently switched from Stuttgart to Dortmund, ensures positive news. Despite his injury, which temporarily put him out of action, Guirassy recently been able to take part in team training again. This progress is crucial because the BVB urgently counts on its strikers to master upcoming challenges.
During training,Guirassy received the traditional neck gossip by his new teammates, a kind of welcome ritual that gives the new player a warm welcome. During his half an hour on the square, he was already able to participate in warm -up exercises and passing games, which indicates a positive development in his rehabilitation.
At an event,sports director Lars Ricken (48) said that the return of Guirassy is progressing well. You want to take your time and take the return very conscientiously. The aim is that Guirassy will be full again in the course of September and strengthen the team.

It remains to be seen whether the transfer negotiations with Nice actually lead to a permanent change. Moukoko could get the opportunity to develop further in Ligue 1, while Guirassy, who had to fight with an injury, may soon be back on the pitch.
The future of the storm series
Developments around Moukoko and Guirassy give the coaching team from Borussia Dortmund the opportunity to restructure the storm series. While Moukoko goes to Nice, Guirassy, when he is fit, could play a central role in the attack. The entire team and fans are eagerly awaiting the further progress of these two players in the coming weeks.
The meaning of Youssoufa Moukoko for Borussia Dortmund
Youssoufa Moukoko has long been one of the greatest talents in German football. Since his debut in the Bundesliga in November 2020, he has become an important part of Borussia Dortmund. Last season the striker scored 10 goals and delivered several templates, which made him a key player on the offensive.
The decision to give Moukoko to OGC Nice could have significant financial consequences for BVB, especially at a time when many clubs are confronted with financial challenges. The content of 8.5 million euros annually, which is supposed to take over Nice, relieves BVB and enables them to invest in other players.
The comeback attempt by Serhou Guirassy
Serhou Guirassy, who drew attention to VfB Stuttgart last season, hopes for a successful comeback in the Bundesliga. After he failed for a long time due to an injury, his recurrence in the Dortmund squad is considered decisive for the further course of the season.
In the past training sessions, Guirassy showed that he is on the right track. The positive feedback from sports director Sebastian Kehl indicates that Guirassy wins the trustworthiness of coach Nuri Sahin. A quick return of the player could not only strengthen BVB's offensive power, but also expand its possibilities in attack, especially with the double burden of national and international competitions.
Current statistics and performance data
The current season has brought mixed results for Borussia Dortmund. After the first six games, BVB is on the 6th place in the Bundesliga with 10 points. The storm has only scored 8 goals, which underlines the need for fresh impulses in the attack. In view of the situation, both Moukoko and Guirassy concerns, the pressure on the offensive is high.
An analysis of the last pairings also shows that Dortmund often had difficulty breaking through the opponents. Especially in close games, it is essential for the team that the battered players get fit again as quickly as possible.
