Milan is betting everything on Guirassy for next season: the Stuttgart striker has had a dream year, becoming one of the best scorers in all of Europe.
There are very few strikers around Europe who score more than Serhou Guirassythe star of Stuttgart which could turn into the fortunes of Milan: After Olivier Giroud, who has decided to end his career in MLS, the Rossoneri’s plan is to continue in the wake of the French attackers by focusing on a low-cost player with great potential. It seems strange to say this, but in this season his numbers are better than even Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
It’s a pretty good calling card for Guirassy who is destined to make a big leap in quality after a career made up of a lot of apprenticeship, in which he had to move away from France in order to find his dimension. The parable of his growth reminded many of that of Marcus Thuramwhich exploded during the seasons spent at Borussia Monchengladbach and was definitively consecrated in the last year spent at Inter and ended with the victory of the Scudetto.
Guirassy’s numbers with Stuttgart
To understand who the French striker really is, you have to start from what he does best, scoring goals. In the last season with Stuttgart he found an exceptional continuity of scoring which led him to place second in the scorers’ table behind the unattainable Harry Kane. His final loot is 28 goals in 28 league games, appreciable numbers that make him attractive to many teams across Europe. What surprises everyone is the fact that he has scored more goals than Mbappé and Haalandrespectively stuck at 25 and 23, a statistic that has little influence but which gives a good idea of the explosion that Guirassy had.
Who is Marcelo Gallardo, the coach that Milan really like: he won everything with River Plate
He doesn’t have a strong propensity for shots from outside the area or headers, despite being almost 190 centimeters tall: physical strength is not his main characteristic, but he is quite fast and very precise when he is in front of the goal, demonstrating a great coolness that he has been able to refine this season. He peaked at 28, slightly late too due to his rather emotional character which on many occasions did not allow him to impose himself.
Now, however, he is ready to take on the big stages, starting with Milan who had their eyes on him already in January. In the end the deal did not materialize but the discussions continued until today: Guirassy has a clause of 17 and a half millionan overall affordable figure for the Rossoneri who are pushing hard on him, so as to transform him into the reference attacker for next season.
