According to BILD, who continues to cover the player and assert that Nottingham Forest is one of the teams that has ‘already maintained an eye’ on the striker, this is the case.
Guirassy has had an outstanding start to the season, scoring a league-high 13 goals in just seven games to lead the Bundesliga scoring charts and move Stuttgart up to second place with 18 points after seven games.
It’s a remarkable turnaround for a player who scored just 11 goals in 22 league games the previous season, and it has, unsurprisingly, generated a lot of curiosity regarding his future.
Numerous clubs in Europe are thought to be keeping an eye on his performances and potentially eyeing a move, particularly as the striker has a €20m release clause that comes into effect next summer.
Nottingham Forest were linked with a move in the summer transfer window and have been credited with an interest since, with it reported that they could make a concrete move in January or beyond.
BILD continue that today and say Guirassy’s future is of concern to everyone at Stuttgart, who don’t want to lose him if they can avoid it.
They know that if he continues his current form that €20m fee in the summer would be a bargain for someone and so a January departure ‘cannot currently be ruled out’.
That’s because, above anything else, it provides Stuttgart with a chance to get ‘significantly more money’ for the striker because his release clause isn’t active.
In other words, if Nottingham Forest want to make a move in the winter window and offer above €20m, they’ll find the German side more than accommodating despite the fact losing Guirassy would be a bitter blow.
