Guirassy to Fenerbahce: is it all moving quickly now? | OneFootball

It is becoming increasingly unlikely that Serhou Guirassy will still be playing for Borussia Dortmund next season. The 30-year-old striker is reportedly on the verge of signing the last lucrative contract of his career. BVB could also cash in handsomely this summer by selling the Guinea international, who is under contract with the Ruhr club until 2028.

According to information from the Turkish daily newspaper Sabah, Fenerbahce Istanbul are doing everything they can to bring Guirassy to the Bosporus as quickly as possible. However, those in charge in Kadiköy are unhappy with BVB’s asking price. They are therefore doing everything they can to lower the fee for the forward.

However, Fener do not hold the strongest hand. New signing Vedat Muriqi (32), who scored 23 goals in 37 matches for RCD Mallorca last season, recently suffered a calf muscle tear and will be out for weeks. As a result, the runners-up need to act.

Fenerbahce forced to act

The Yellow-Navy Blues are trying to push Dortmund’s €40 million asking price down to €35 million. In order not to lose any time, club president Aziz Yildirim (73) has now personally stepped into the negotiations. He apparently wants to leave no stone unturned to get the deal over the line as soon as possible.

Since an agreement between the two clubs is by no means certain, the Turks are pursuing a two-track approach. England striker Ollie Watkins (30), who is currently at the FIFA World Cup, is considered Plan B. The idea is a loan deal for the Aston Villa player including an obligation to buy.

A quick sale of Guirassy would give BVB planning certainty. Efforts to sign Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani (23) are likely to intensify if the prolific scorer from Guinea leaves.
