Transfer rumours around Guirassy: is the BVB striker set to leave? | OneFootball

The next act in the transfer saga surrounding Serhou Guirassy: The 30-year-old Borussia Dortmund striker is reportedly on the verge of joining Fenerbahce Istanbul. The move is said to be finalized soon.

His record speaks for itself. In 96 matches for BVB, Guirassy scored 60 goals. He also set up 15 more. There could still be plenty more to come, as the Guinean still has two years left on his contract. On Dortmund’s side, there has been no talk of an early departure. According to Sky, sporting managing director Lars Ricken (49) and sporting director Ole Book (40) are currently doing everything they can to convince the striker to stay with the runners-up. The forward himself, however, apparently is in no hurry. It is said that he does not intend to decide on his sporting future until after the end of the 2026 World Cup.

Very different messages are coming from the Bosporus. Newly elected Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim (73) is promising supporters of the historic Istanbul club that Guirassy will be signed. Reports of a basic agreement with both the player and Borussia Dortmund are already making the rounds.

“We also have no intention of letting him go”

Ricken recently responded to the ongoing transfer rumors surrounding his star striker in an interview with WAZ with an unmistakable statement: “We have not received an offer for Serhou. We also have no intention of letting him go. He has impressively proven his value to Borussia Dortmund over the past two seasons.”

The rumor mill is now being fueled further by Turkish transfer expert Yagiz Sabuncuoglu on X. According to his information, Fenerbahce is planning concrete talks with BVB officials before the weekend in order to put an alleged verbal agreement into writing. The striker himself is said to be willing and is merely waiting in the background for the green light from both clubs.

Further details on the financial terms were provided by the sports portal Ajansspor. According to the report, a three-year contract is ready for Guirassy in Istanbul, one that would earn him a handsome salary of ten million euros per season. Borussia Dortmund would reportedly be sweetened with a sizeable transfer fee of 35 million euros for the departure. The transfer is also expected to be completed soon. The attacking player is reportedly expected on the Bosporus as early as next week to sign the contract with the “Yellow Canaries.”
