<p>Dortmund have been closing in on a deal to sign Guirassy for a fee of €18 million (£15m/$20m) from Stuttgart and the striker was poised to undergo his medical and complete the formalities of his move, having beaten competition from <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/stuttgart-serhou-guirassy-drops-hint-on-future-names-big-club-he-can-imagine-joining/blt4b465de8d784aa43" target="_blank">Manchester United and Bayern Munich</a>. However, Dortmund have now announced that there has been a snag when it comes to securing his signature.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://x.com/BVB/status/1811083911566360627" target="_blank">Dortmund posted on X</a>: "During a medical examination of Serhou Guirassy, an injury was discovered that requires further investigation."</p><p>It is unclear how long it will take for Dortmund to conduct further tests, or if it could completely derail the deal.</p>

THE EXPLANATION

<p>Guirassy enjoyed a remarkable season in 2023-24, netting 30 goals in 30 games in all competitions. His only injury issue last season came with a hamstring injury but Dortmund have clearly discovered a separate problem.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Dortmund will hope to iron out the kinks of Guirassy's medical and complete his signing as they bid to add his prolific firepower to their squad.</p>
