Early life
Guirassy was born in Arles, France, to Guinean parents from Touba, Boké Region.
Club career
Guirassy started his career playing for Montargis, Amilly and Laval.[4]
Lille
In July 2015, Guirassy joined Lille from Laval, signing a four-year contract. The transfer fee was reported to be around €1 million.[5][6]
1. FC Köln
Guirassy joined 1. FC Köln in July 2016, signing a five-year contract.[7][8] Soon after arriving at Köln, he underwent meniscus surgery. Later in the first half of the 2016–17 season, muscular problems kept him out of action.[9] He made his Bundesliga debut on matchday 26 on 1 April 2017, in a 2–1 defeat against Hamburger SV.[9][10] Days later, he was again kept from playing by muscular issues. Towards the end of the season, Guirassy nursed an inflammation of the pubic bone joint.[9]
Amiens
In January 2019, he was loaned to Amiens until the end of the season.[11] 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.[12] Amiens later took advantage of the option and turned the deal permanent.[13]
Rennes
On 27 August 2020, Guirassy joined Ligue 1 side Rennes on a five-year deal.[14] He scored his first two goals for the club in the same match, a 4–2 league win against Nîmes.[15] On 20 October 2020, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 1–1 draw against Krasnodar in the 2020–21 season.[16]
Loan to VfB Stuttgart
On 1 September 2022, he joined Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart on loan for the 2022–23 season.[17]

He debuted with the Guinea in a friendly 0–0 tie with South Africa on 25 March 2022, held in Kortrijk, Belgium.[20]
