Serhou Guirassy could be on the verge of a high-profile move to Turkish giants Fenerbahçe SK, with reports suggesting the Borussia Dortmund striker has already been lined up as a potential marquee signing ahead of the club’s upcoming congress.
According to Turkish media reports, presidential candidate Aziz Yıldırım is seeking to make a major statement in the transfer market should he take control at the Istanbul club. Guirassy, who currently plays for Borussia Dortmund, is said to be central to those plans, with preliminary discussions reportedly already taking place.
The Guinea international has enjoyed a prolific campaign, scoring 22 goals and providing six assists, form that has significantly increased his value on the transfer market. The 30-year-old forward is understood to have a release clause in the region of €40 million, although negotiations between Fenerbahçe and Dortmund are said to be ongoing in an effort to lower the overall financial package.
Guirassy’s goal record over a long career also highlights his consistency at top level. He is reported to have scored 183 goals in 399 appearances, along with 31 assists, underlining why he is being considered as a potential statement signing.
Financial details surrounding the possible transfer suggest that the striker’s wage demands may also be significant. Reports indicate that he is seeking an annual salary in the region of €10–12 million, a figure that Fenerbahçe are reportedly assessing carefully as they weigh up the total cost of the deal.
The scale of the proposed transfer reflects the ambitions of those vying for control at the Turkish club, with Guirassy seen as a player who could immediately elevate the squad’s attacking options. His experience in European football and proven scoring ability are understood to be key factors driving interest.
A post circulating on social media summarised the situation, stating:

Beyond the financial and sporting considerations, timing could also play a role in Fenerbahçe’s planning. Guinea’s absence from the upcoming World Cup is seen as a potential advantage for the Turkish side, as it would allow Guirassy to participate fully in pre-season preparations should a deal be completed.
That factor is understood to be particularly appealing to the club’s decision-makers, who are keen to ensure any major signing integrates quickly ahead of the new campaign.
While no final agreement has been confirmed, discussions are believed to be ongoing, with both the player’s representatives and Dortmund still involved in negotiations. The situation remains open, but Guirassy is already being positioned as one of the standout potential moves of the transfer window.
