Serou Ghirasi is attracting interest from leading international clubs. Replacing the Borussia striker could also be of interest to Cologne.
Borussia Dortmund center forward Seru Ghirasi is apparently in talks with leading Turkish club Fenerbahce.. This was reported by the Sabah newspaper with reference to club circles. Accordingly, the Super League runners-up are said to be interested in signing Guirassi. The Guinean left Stuttgart for Borussia Dortmund just two years ago and seems keen on a change of club.
According to the report, Fenerbahçe is willing to pay at least 30 million euros for Ghirasi. This will be twelve million euros more than the transfer fee that BVB paid to VfB Stuttgart in 2024. However, negotiations are still ongoing; A move abroad is not yet a foregone conclusion for the Dortmund player. But those in charge could use the millions to invest in new young talent.
Serju Guirassi: the former Cologne 1st season player is set to move to Turkey.
Because with the possible departure of Girasi and transfer of Karim Adeyemi to FC Barcelona In addition to wages, Dortmund can also earn money for new transfers. On 1. FC Cologne Fans are still angry that those responsible allowed Guirassi to move to French club Amiens in 2019 for six million euros. Although FC were making transfer profits at the time, Ghirasi subsequently developed into a star striker.
Guirassi scored 38 goals in 63 Bundesliga matches for BVB; He had previously scored the same number of times in 28 games for Stuttgart. For comparison: in 1. Cologne, the striker, although talented, scored only four goals in 15 Bundesliga matches. Even after relegation to the second division, he failed to truly convince.
The departures of Adeyemi and Guirasi will free up space in Dortmund’s attacking line – perhaps also for Said El Mal.. It is becoming increasingly likely that the 19-year-old will remain at Geissbockheim, but BVB should now have a better starting position in the race for El Mala. The family reportedly wants to see him play in Germany next year.
One more thing: the desired player Fisnik Aslani is said to have canceled his contract with BVB. Hoffenheimer is set to move to RB Leipzig.
