Serhou Guirassy: Fenerbahçe eye move for €40m Dortmund striker

Borussia Dortmund forward Serhou Guirassy is being linked with a summer move to Fenerbahçe, with the reported probability of a deal currently rated at 35%.

The Guinea-France centre-forward, 30, is valued at €40.00m and is under contract at Dortmund, but key details such as contract length and expiry are not publicly disclosed, prompting speculation he could become available or even approach free-agent status if talks over his future stall.

Guirassy, who wears the number 9 shirt for the Bundesliga side, has established himself as a central striker, predominantly operating through the middle and favouring his right foot. Born in Arles on 12 March 1996 and standing at 1.87m, he offers the physical profile of a traditional centre-forward combined with mobility in the final third.

The interest from Fenerbahçe comes with the Turkish Süper Lig club looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new campaign. Any potential deal would likely have to reflect his current market valuation, with Dortmund facing a decision over whether to cash in on a player whose contractual situation is opaque.

Guirassy, who holds both Guinean and French nationality, has featured in the Bundesliga for Dortmund this season, with his recent appearances continuing to underline his penalty-box instincts and aerial presence. In his latest outing for the club – a league fixture in which Dortmund faced domestic opposition in early May – he led the line as centre-forward, contributing with his movement and link-up play in a match that ended in a competitive scoreline but without adding to his goal tally.

With his international ties and experience in one of Europe’s top leagues, a switch to Istanbul would represent a change of environment rather than a step down in profile. If the move materialises, it could mark a pivotal next chapter in Guirassy’s career, offering him the chance to become a focal point in Fenerbahçe’s attack and further shape his reputation on the European stage.
