Manchester United and Newcastle United have been linked with a move for VfB Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy.
Serhou Guirassy has been in splendid form for VfB Stuttgart this season, and his performances have attracted the attention of Manchester United and Newcastle United. A report from Calciomercato claims that the striker wants a €4 million-a-year contract to join his next club in January.
Serhou Guirassy on the Rise
Serhou Guirassy has a €15 million release clause in his contract, and he will be available on a bargain next month. However, he wants a lucrative contract, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United and Newcastle are prepared to pay up for him. There is no doubt that the two English clubs have the financial resources to pay that kind of money to him.
Manchester United need to sign a reliable goalscorer in January, and the 27-year-old has emerged as a viable target. He is in impressive form right now and could shoulder the goalscoring responsibility at Old Trafford.
Summer signing Rasmus Hojlund is still getting to grips with English football, and the young striker needs more time to hit top form in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Newcastle United have Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson as the first-choice strikers.
However, Wilson’s availability has been a major concern, and the Magpies will have to sign another quality finisher. The 27-year-old would improve both clubs in the final third with his goalscoring ability and it remains to be seen where he ends up. He has already proven himself in the Bundesliga and will want to showcase his qualities at the highest level.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League can be hard to turn down. Both Manchester United and Newcastle United will be looking to secure Champions League qualification, and they need to bring in the right additions in January to finish the season strongly.
Serhou Guirassy would be a superb investment for the two clubs. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his powers right now and could make an immediate impact in English football. Guirassy has 19 goals in 16 games across all competitions this season.
