Big competition for BVB – Barça also after Fisnik Asllani | OneFootball

With his spectacular headed goal to make it 2:2 in the meantime, Fisnik Asllani played a major role in Kosovo’s 4:3 win in the play-off semi-final in Slovakia on Thursday and can continue to dream of taking part in the 2026 World Cup ahead of Tuesday’s final against Turkey. At club level, meanwhile, the TSG Hoffenheim striker could well be set for the next step this summer anyway.

Not least because of new BVB sporting director Ole Book, who had already brought Asllani to SV Elversberg on loan in the 2024/25 season, speculation about a summer move for the 23-year-old forward to Dortmund has gained fresh momentum in recent days. Borussia would likely push hard for Asllani especially if Serhou Guirassy and/or Fabio Silva were to leave the club, with his contract in Hoffenheim, which runs until 2029, containing a release clause.

According to reports, another club would have to put between 25 and 29 million euros on the table to prise Asllani away from Kraichgau — a fee that should not be a problem for most clubs from the upper tier of European football.

Already in contact with FC Barcelona

BVB may be able to score points with softer factors such as a very good opportunity for further development as well as the relationship with sporting director Book, but they still face very strong competition, meaning a successful pursuit is far from guaranteed.

FC Barcelona are also among the prominent clubs looking into Asllani. As Asllani’s agent Ayman Dahmani confirmed to Erem News, there has already been communication with the leaders of Spain’s La Liga, who are searching for a successor to Robert Lewandowski for the summer, with his time in Barcelona seemingly coming to an end.

“Barcelona’s interest in the player is currently real, and there has already been contact from the Catalan club,” Dahmani revealed, although it remains to be seen, of course, whether any concrete steps will actually follow.
