Move to BVB? Hoffenheim’s Asllani responds | OneFootball

Fisnik Asllani knows where the goal is. Whether in the 2nd or 1st Bundesliga, the 23-year-old striker scores with impressive consistency. It's hardly surprising that other clubs have taken notice of TSG Hoffenheim's goal-getter – including BVB.

The Kosovo national player netted 18 times for SV Elversberg last season. He also provided nine assists. After the end of his loan, Asllani returned to Kraichgau. Anyone who thought the hard-running offensive player would struggle in a higher league is mistaken. With eight goals and seven assists, he is the most successful in the team along with Andrej Kramaric (34).

In the summer of 2025, Asllani extended his contract with TSG until 2030. Nevertheless, transfer rumors continue to swirl around the 23-year-old. Besides Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern Munich, FC Barcelona is also said to have an eye on the native Berliner.

Dream: World Cup Participation in Summer

In an interview with kicker, Asllani spoke about his football future: “I am really someone who doesn't dwell on it much. Just like last year, I am now focusing only on football and the upcoming games.”

The Hoffenheim pro does not want to engage in speculation about a transfer. “In the end, it doesn't benefit me at all if I pay attention to everything around me and get distracted; I have to perform on the pitch,” he added. “I don't worry about any speculations or whatever. I just approach it with fun in football, just want to play and show my performance.”

Asllani's priority is likely the qualification for the FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the USA (June 11 to July 19, 2026). In the play-offs, Kosovo will face Slovakia on March 26. If the Kosovars win the knockout duel, they will host the winner of the match between Turkey and Romania at home on March 31. Whoever prevails then will secure one of the last World Cup tickets.
