Guirassy set for BVB exit? Dortmund reportedly set asking price | OneFootball

Following new talks between Borussia Dortmund and Fenerbahce, the poker over Serhou Guirassy is apparently picking up speed. BVB are said to have now informed the Turkish top club of their minimum asking price for a possible transfer.

There could be movement in Borussia Dortmund’s attacking squad planning in the coming weeks. The focus is on Serhou Guirassy, whose future at BVB remains open. According to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, representatives of Fenerbahce have recently intensified their talks with Dortmund.

Accordingly, BVB sporting director Ole Book is said to have already informed the Turkish giants of the financial minimum they would accept for a possible transfer of the striker. The Bundesliga club is now apparently waiting for a response from Istanbul. Most recently, reports spoke of a demanded transfer fee of around €40 million. After the talks, Fenerbahce are said to have initially asked for time to think.

Earlier reports had suggested that the club had tried to push the price down to around €25 million. Guirassy does have a release clause worth €35 million, but it only applies to a limited number of top international clubs. Fenerbahce are not among them, which is why Dortmund are free to set the price in negotiations.

Will BVB sign Asllani if Guirassy leaves?

Ole Book had already indicated a few weeks ago that BVB are generally open to talks. While Guirassy is an important part of the team with his goals and a sale is not planned, the club would still consider a transfer if an exceptional offer came in.

The 30-year-old is under contract in Dortmund until 2028. In the summer of 2024, he moved from VfB Stuttgart to BVB for €18 million thanks to a release clause. Since then, the Guinea international has scored 60 goals and provided 15 more in 69 competitive appearances.

At the same time, Borussia Dortmund are already working on possible alternatives in case he leaves. Fisnik Asllani of TSG Hoffenheim is still considered the preferred solution, even if talks have not yet made decisive progress at this stage. Whether Guirassy will actually move to Istanbul remains unclear for now.
