Serhou Guirassy agrees terms with Fenerbahçe – BVB decide now | OneFootball

When Borussia Dortmund visit SV Werder Bremen this Saturday, it will be the final appearance in the black-and-yellow shirt for Julian Brandt, Niklas Süle and Salih Özcan, who were officially bid farewell last week, although the latter two in particular may no longer be able to count on getting any playing time. It is also entirely possible, meanwhile, that other players whose futures are still unresolved could be making their final appearance for BVB today as well.

Among the players whose stay is far from certain despite having contracts that run beyond this summer is Serhou Guirassy, who is said to have made the decision to leave the club again after two years.

In recent weeks, AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Fenerbahce Istanbul have primarily been mentioned as the three clubs interested in Guirassy. And according to Turkish sports journalist Doruk Tecimer, Guirassy has now already reached a basic agreement with Fenerbahce on a move. The framework of a contract with the Süper Lig runners-up, namely salary and length, therefore appears to have been settled. However, a transfer will not happen without the green light from BVB.

Release clause does not apply to Fenerbahce

Guirassy’s contract with BVB, which runs until 2028, does contain a release clause, but it applies only to a few selected top clubs. Fenerbahce is not one of them, nor are Tottenham or AC Milan.

So in addition to reaching an agreement with Guirassy, Fenerbahce would also still need to come to terms with BVB. Guirassy’s representatives are said to have already signaled, however, that Dortmund may be willing to show flexibility on the transfer fee. Ultimately, though, the decision lies with Borussia, whose officials around new sporting director Ole Book would not completely shut the door on a transfer request from the 30-year-old striker.

“I basically have the feeling that he is still very eager to play for Borussia Dortmund and that he can help us,” Book emphasized this week in a media round, underlining his appreciation for Guirassy, but also leaving the door open regarding a move: “It is not our plan to let him go. Nevertheless, the same applies here: if incredible offers come in, we will think about it.”
