Borussia Dortmund’s Guinea-France centre-forward Serhou Guirassy is being linked with a summer move to Turkish giants Fenerbahçe, with the transfer currently rated at a 57% probability according to latest reports.
The 30-year-old, who wears the number 9 shirt for Dortmund, is attracting serious interest from Istanbul after a prolific spell in the Bundesliga. While no agreement has been announced, the lack of a publicly listed contract expiry date and growing speculation around his future have prompted suggestions he could yet move on under favourable terms, with free agent and contract expired scenarios being discussed in some quarters should his situation change.
Guirassy, valued at €32.00m on Transfermarkt, would represent a marquee attacking signing for Fenerbahçe as they look to add proven European pedigree to their forward line ahead of the new Süper Lig campaign. His right-footed, penalty-box style and physical presence at 1.87m have made him one of the most effective centre-forwards in Germany in recent seasons.
The Guinea international, who was born in Arles on 12 March 1996 and holds both Guinean and French nationality, joined Dortmund after a standout spell in the Bundesliga. He has since led the line in both domestic and European competition, reinforcing his reputation as a reliable finisher in high-pressure matches. In a recent outing for Dortmund – a tight league fixture in the Bundesliga in May 2026 – Guirassy featured prominently in a narrow win, playing the full 90 minutes and underlining the central role he still holds in the club’s attacking plans, even as rumours swirl around his future.
Fenerbahçe’s interest reflects the broader appeal of a striker who has already built up a substantial CV across major European leagues. Before his time at Dortmund, Guirassy developed through various clubs in France and Germany, learning to operate as a classic penalty-area forward but also dropping off to link play when required. That versatility in the attack – being able to play as a traditional No 9 but also contribute to build-up – has been central to his rise in market value.
His current valuation of €32.00m places him among the more expensive forwards potentially on the move this window and would represent a significant investment for any Süper Lig side. For Fenerbahçe, who regularly compete for the Turkish title and European qualification, securing a forward of Guirassy’s calibre would be a statement of intent, particularly if the negotiations opened the door to a reduced fee, or in an extreme scenario, to a free transfer were his contractual position at Dortmund to change.
Internationally, Guirassy’s Guinean heritage has made him a key figure of interest for the national team, while his French background and development in Europe have ensured he brings a modern, tactically adaptable skillset. His height, strength and movement in the box have allowed him to thrive in physically demanding leagues, a trait that would likely translate well to the intense, combative environment of the Süper Lig.
With no official announcement from either Dortmund or Fenerbahçe, the deal remains at the rumour stage, and there is no confirmation of any fee, contract length or personal terms. However, the reported 57% likelihood underlines that this is more than a distant link and suggests that discussions around his future are expected to continue as the window progresses.
Should Guirassy ultimately swap the Bundesliga for Istanbul, the move would mark a new chapter in a career that has already taken him through several of Europe’s top competitions. A successful spell at Fenerbahçe could consolidate his status as a leading striker beyond Germany, enhance his reputation across the continent and offer him a new platform to shape the next peak years of his career.
