Guirassy was born inArles, France, toGuinean parents.[4]
Guirassy started his career playing forMontargis,Amilly andLaval.[5]
In July 2015, Guirassy joinedLille from Laval, signing a four-year contract. The transfer fee was reported to be around €1 million.[6][7]
Guirassy joined1. FC Köln in July 2016, signing a five-year contract.[8][9] Soon after arriving at Köln, he underwentmeniscus surgery. Later in the first half of the 2016–17 season, muscular problems kept him out of action.[10] He made hisBundesliga debut on matchday 26 on 1 April 2017, in a 2–1 defeat againstHamburger SV.[10][11] Days later, he was again kept from playing by muscular issues. Towards the end of the season, Guirassy nursed aninflammation of the pubic bone joint.[10]
In his second season, he scored his first goal in a 2–1 away defeat againstBayer Levekusen on 28 October 2017.[12] Five days later, he scored his first goal in theEuropa League in a 5–2 victory overBATE Borisov.[13] Later that month, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win againstArsenal in the same tournament.[14] Eventually, 1. FC Köln finished last in the league to be relegated, with Guirassy being their top scorer in all competitions.[12]
In January 2019, he was loaned toAmiens until the end of the season.[15] Amiens exercised an option and bought the rights for Guirassy for the upcoming season. Transfer fees were reported to be about 5 to 6 million Euros.[16] Amiens later took advantage of the option and turned the deal permanent.[17]
On 15 February 2020, he scored a brace in a 4–4 draw againstParis Saint-Germain, with his second goal equalized the match in the stoppage time.[18] However, Amiens were relegated while being at 19th position, when the league was suspended prematurely following the outbreak ofCOVID-19 in France.[19]
On 27 August 2020, Guirassy joinedLigue 1 sideRennes on a five-year deal.[20] He scored his first two goals for the club in the same match, a 4–2league win againstNîmes.[21] On 20 October 2020, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 1–1 draw againstKrasnodar in the2020–21 season,[22] which was also his club's first ever goal in the competition.[12] On 20 March 2022, he scored his first career hat-trick in a 6–1 thrashing ofFC Metz.[23]
On 1 September 2022, Guirassy joinedBundesliga clubVfB Stuttgart on loan for the 2022–23 season.[24] On 31 May 2023, the club announced that they had activated the option to make the move permanent, signing a three-year contract.[25]
In the2023–24 season, Guirassy scored ten goals in the first five matches, including his first Bundesliga hat-trick which came againstMainz, to equal a previous record set byRobert Lewandowski in 2020–21.[12] He also set the Bundesliga record for most goals by a player in the first seven matches of a season by scoring a hat-trick within 15 minutes in a 3–1 win againstWolfsburg. This set the record at 13 goals, overtaking Lewandowski's record of 11 in both 2019–20 and 2020–21.[26] After scoring his 14th goal of the season in an away match againstUnion Berlin, he was substituted after 30 minutes of play due to a hamstring injury.[27] He later missed two league matches,[28] before he managed to score a penalty to secure a 2–1 victory overBorussia Dortmund, and to reach 15 goals in his first nine matches of the season.[29]
On 13 April 2024, he scored his 25th Bundesliga goal in a 3–0 victory overEintracht Frankfurt, breaking the record of most goals by a Stuttgart player in a single campaign set byMario Gómez in the 2008–09 season.[30] A few days later, he was named Player of the Month for March, achieving the prize for the second time in the season after September 2023.[31] On the final matchday of the 2023–24 season, he netted a brace in a 4–0 win overBorussia Mönchengladbach, finishing the season with 28 goals in 28 matches, only behindHarry Kane.[32] Additionally, he scored the opening goal for the 12th time that season during the match, tying a Bundesliga record set byGerd Müller in 1969–70,Ailton in 2003–04 andStefan Kießling in 2012–13.[33]
On 18 July 2024, Guirassy signed a four-year contract withBorussia Dortmund for a reported transfer fee of €18 million.[34][35] On 18 September, he scored his first goal from a penalty in a 3–0 away win overClub Brugge in theChampions League group stage.[36] On 11 February 2025, Guirassy scored his tenth goal in the Champions League in a 3–0 away victory overSporting Lisbon,[37] becoming the third Dortmund player, afterRobert Lewandowski andErling Haaland, to score ten goals in a single Champions League campaign.[38] On 22 February, for the first time in his career, Guirassy scored four goals in a game in a 6–0 home victory overUnion Berlin, becoming the third Dortmund player in the 21st century alongsidePierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Erling Haaland to score four goals in a league match.[39]
On 15 April, he netted his first Champions Leaguehat-trick in a 3–1 win overBarcelona – against whom he also scored a brace months prior – during thequarter-finals of the competition, becoming Africa's and Dortmund's all-time top goalscorer in a single campaign with 13 goals.[40] With his hat-trick, he also became one of only four players next to Lewandowski,Marco Reus andKarim Adeyemi to ever score a hat-trick for Dortmund in the competition.[41][42][43] Guirassy ended his first Champions League season with Dortmund with fourteen matches played, thirteen goals scored and four assists provided, securing the top scorer spot in the competition alongsideRaphinha.[44][45] Hence, he became the second African player to achieve this feat, only afterGeorge Weah in 1994–95.[46] In the2025 FIFA Club World Cup, he netted a brace in a 2–1 victory overMonterrey, qualifying his club to the quarter-finals.[47]
Guirassy was a youth international for France.[48] However, he decided to represent the country of origin, theRepublic of Guinea, at senior level. He debuted in theGuinea national team in a 0–0 friendly draw againstSouth Africa on 25 March 2022, held inKortrijk,Belgium.[49]
In December 2023, he was named in the Guinean squad for the2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.[50]
With six goals, Guirassy was the second top scorer duringqualification for the2025 Africa Cup of Nations, only behindMorocco'sBrahim Díaz. This was not enough to progress, however, as Guinea missed out on the finals for the first time since 2017.[51][52]
