Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal approached Serhou Guirassy for his signature, but the player turned down the offer. The club was prepared to offer him a lucrative contract, but the striker stated that he wants to remain at Borussia Dortmund to fight for trophies.

Guirassy has been one of the best strikers in European football over the last two seasons. Two seasons ago, he scored 30 goals and provided three assists, earning a nomination for the CAF Men’s Player of the Year. Last season was even better, as he improved his goal and assist tally to 38 goals and nine assists in all competitions. He was also nominated for the Ballon d’Or.
