Aston Villa join Fenerbahçe in race for Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy

Aston Villa have reportedly entered the race to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Serhou Guirassy, adding fresh competition for Fenerbahçe in the pursuit of the highly rated striker.

The 30-year-old remains under contract at Dortmund, but speculation around his future continues to grow despite the German club’s insistence that he remains part of their long-term plans.

Dortmund Maintain Firm Stance

Borussia Dortmund have publicly reiterated their position on Guirassy, stressing that the striker is not for sale and remains an important figure in their squad heading into the new season.

Sporting director Lars Ricken has previously made the club’s stance clear, praising the striker’s impact since arriving at the club.

“We have no intention of letting him go. He has impressively demonstrated his value to Borussia Dortmund over the last two seasons,” Ricken stated.

Growing Transfer Interest Across Europe

Despite Dortmund’s firm position, reports suggest that Guirassy is open to considering offers if a suitable proposal is presented. This has kept speculation alive across multiple leagues.

According to BILD, Aston Villa have now formally shown interest in the striker and are closely monitoring his situation as they assess potential attacking reinforcements for the new season.

Their entry into the race places them in direct competition with Turkish giants Fenerbahçe, who have been tracking Guirassy for several weeks.

Fenerbahçe Push Intensifies

Fenerbahçe’s interest in the striker has been widely discussed in Turkey, where his name has even featured in the club’s presidential election debate. The forward is viewed as one of the club’s top summer transfer targets as they look to strengthen their squad.

Uncertain Future Ahead

While Dortmund remain confident of keeping hold of the striker, interest from England and Turkey has ensured that Guirassy’s future remains a developing storyline in the transfer market.

With multiple clubs now monitoring the situation, the coming weeks could prove decisive in determining whether the striker stays in Germany or moves on to a new challenge.
