In late July 2026, Fenerbahçe entered advanced negotiations with Borussia Dortmund to sign 30‑year‑old striker Serhou Guirassy. The Turkish club was prepared to meet Dortmund’s asking price of €20‑25 million to €35 million and offered the player a €10 million‑per‑year salary.

By early August, the club intensified its efforts, issuing a new offer after a pre‑season friendly highlighted its need for a forward. Dortmund’s release clause was reported at a minimum of €40 million, prompting Fenerbahçe to propose a fee around €30 million and a revised salary package of roughly €12 million plus bonuses, aiming to secure the player before the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

In late August, new speculation emerged linking Guirassy to FC Barcelona. While Dortmund and Barcelona are engaged in separate negotiations regarding right-back Héctor Fort, discussions regarding Guirassy’s potential move to Spain have also surfaced, with his current salary noted as a significant factor in those ongoing discussions.
