Record international Lothar Matthäus continues to fuel the rumour mill at FC Bayern Munich. A possible transfer candidate could come from VfB Stuttgart:
45 games – 48 goals. Robert Lewandowski (34) was in exceptional form last season. The departure of the Polish international striker to FC Barcelona hurts FC Bayern Munich very much. It's been a sobering season for the German record champions. However, this is currently the most exciting title race of the last ten years in the Bundesliga.

Sky pundit Lothar Matthäus recommends FC Bayern transfer of VfB striker Guirassy
In the season finale in Munich, not everything is focused on the sporting situation, but the search for a new striker is also coming more and more into focus. A successor to Lewandowski is being sought. Finally, Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting, who has scored a total of 17 goals so far this season, is considered injury-prone. According to media reports, the Bayern bosses are dealing with Harry Kane (29, Tottenham Hotspur), Victor Osimhen (24, Napoli) and Randal Kolo Muani (24, Eintracht Frankfurt).
Bayern legend Lothar Matthäus is now causing a surprise with his statements to the Bild newspaper. HEIDELBERG24 reports on this. "I'd get Guirassy! Once again, he caught my eye in the cup match against Frankfurt: ball-safe, fast, robust body. He has everything a top centre-forward needs. Guirassy is just as good as Kolo Muani – with the difference that he costs much less," Matthäus said.

Serhou Guirassy – A ray of hope and life insurance for VfB Stuttgart
The VfB Stuttgart striker, who is currently only on loan from Stade Rennes, is no stranger to the Bundesliga. This is his second stop in the Bundesliga. From 2016 to 2019, the striker played for 1. The 27-year-old is one of the bright spots at relegation-threatened VfB. In 23 competitive games, he scored eleven goals and provided one assist. According to the Bild newspaper, VfB has a purchase option of nine million euros for its life insurance.
One possible scenario: VfB Stuttgart makes use of the purchase option and immediately sells the striker in order to make a big profit. And here, according to the TV expert, the connections between the clubs could become important: "The wires between Munich and Stuttgart are short, not least because of Uli and Dieter Hoeneß and VfB coach Sebastian Hoeness. Why shouldn't Bayern make an effort to sign Guirassy?"
Serhou Guirassy to FC Bayern? VfB star would be a cheap alternative for the record champions
"Kane is already too old at almost 30, Osimhen would have been far too expensive. But Kolo Muani will also cost more than his market value, which he has increased to 65 million since the strong World Cup with France – if Frankfurt lets him go at all," Matthäus explains. Guirassy, on the other hand, would be a cheap alternative for the FCB striker.

He has been able to greatly increase his goal rate compared to his first Bundesliga stint and his statistics in the current season are remarkable. However, it is still questionable whether the Guinea international has the necessary quality for FC Bayern. After all, it's a big step to assert yourself as a centre-forward at the record champions.
FC Bayern are looking for a new striker – Guirassy transfer realistic?
Bayern president Herbert Hainer commented on the search for a striker after the Champions League exit as follows: "If they could name me the one that hits immediately, then we would buy him immediately." Guirassy could be the missing piece of the puzzle, but it remains to be seen whether a transfer will actually take place. FC Bayern will tend to sign an even more renowned striker of international class. (ph)
