According to "Bild", Dortmund striker Gilasi may leave the team next summer, and his release clause will be approximately 50 million euros by then. Barcelona is one of the clubs interested in the Guinea international.

Gilasi's release clause only applies to a few clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Premier League giants Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. If other clubs, such as the wealthy Saudi Arabian football team, want to sign this top striker, they will need to pay a higher transfer fee. It is said that it will reach 80 million euros before Dortmund can be interested.

Although Gilasi feels very comfortable in Dortmund, the players are still looking for better opportunities and hope to increase their current annual salary of about 9 million euros. Dortmund are set to receive a hefty transfer fee next summer if the aforementioned top clubs come forward with an offer.

When joining Dortmund from Stuttgart (transfer fee was 18 million euros), Gilasi signed a ladder contract. According to this contract, his termination bonus will decrease year by year before the contract expires in 2028.

Currently, Barcelona is considered one of Gilasi’s potential next destinations. Barcelona coached by Flick may look for a successor to Lewandowski (37 years old) in the summer transfer window after the World Cup, and may consider introducing Gilassi at a relatively affordable price.
