Fenerbahce not alone in Guirassy chase, top club makes move | OneFootball

Demand is high. Serhou Guirassy is being linked with several top European clubs. Fenerbahce Istanbul, in particular, is keen on the 30-year-old Borussia Dortmund striker. But the competition is prestigious and financially powerful.

“No agreement has been reached whatsoever. Serhou is currently weighing up his options for next season. Claims of a deal are not true,” his brother and agent Karamba Guirassy said on Sky. A final decision is therefore still pending.

The Guinea international is still under contract in Dortmund until 2028. BVB are also determined to keep their centre-forward at the club. However, the Black and Yellows do not hold the strongest hand. Guirassy’s contract contains a release clause that drops to around €50 million this summer. The 30-year-old can therefore leave Dortmund without the Ruhr club’s consent.

Long on the radar of elite clubs

Alongside a quartet from the Premier League (Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United), Fenerbahce are one of the clubs pursuing Guirassy. But Atlético Madrid are said to have particularly strong chances, according to the portal Crypto Briefing. At Los Colchoneros, he could replace Alexander Sørloth (30). Juventus are hoping to lure the Norwegian World Cup participant to Serie A. At the Bianconeri, he has been earmarked as the successor to Dusan Vlahovic (26).

Atlético Madrid’s interest in Guirassy is an open secret. The rumor first surfaced back in December 2023 — half a year before his move to Borussia Dortmund. It became more concrete in June 2024, when the striker was weighing up his options and Atléti were also considering current Juve forward Jonathan David (26, then at Lille) at the same time.

As is well known, Guirassy ultimately chose BVB. But even back then, the Spaniards were never alone in the race. Fenerbahce, AC Milan and even Real Madrid also had the goal scorer on their radar. The latter were particularly attracted by a contractual release clause tailored specifically to Europe’s top clubs.
