Asllani saga: where BVB stand in the race right now | OneFootball

Fisnik Asllani has performed at a good level in the Bundesliga during the 2025/26 season. The TSG Hoffenheim striker showed that he can more than hold his own. In the summer, however, he could leave the club from Kraichgau.

Several clubs have expressed interest. Among others, Asllani is on RB Leipzig’s shortlist. That is according to Sky. The report says Leipzig have the option to sign him if one of their top attacking players leaves.

BVB have also been linked with the striker several times. Especially if Serhou Guirassy departs, another center-forward would need to be added to the squad.

Dortmund keeping tabs on Asllani

According to the Transfer Update on Sky, BVB are currently not considered favorites to sign Asllani. Instead, Dortmund are said to be waiting in the wings. That is not surprising, as they can only really make a move once another departure brings in funds.

Dortmund are also working on a move for Konstantinos Karetsas, which currently has priority. The Greek is expected to cost €30–35 million, and BVB do not want to approve another deal of that size without incoming transfer revenue.

But back to Asllani. Hoffenheim are not under pressure to sell him, though they do have a plan B in place in case a transfer happens.

For the moment, however, nothing concrete is happening around Asllani. And the player himself is relaxed, waiting for one of the interested clubs to really step up the pressure and try to sign him. He would not categorically rule out a possible move to BVB either, and agreeing personal terms would not be a problem with either BVB or league rivals Leipzig. The next few weeks in this transfer saga should be very interesting.
