Asllani to BVB? Under these circumstances, it could heat up | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund apparently have not yet given up on Fisnik Asllani. Under certain circumstances, a transfer for the Hoffenheim striker could become an issue again for BVB.

Although a move for Fisnik Asllani to RB Leipzig recently collapsed in surprising fashion, the forward’s future could still remain a talking point. Borussia Dortmund are said to still have the 24-year-old on their list. Under certain circumstances, the matter could even become concrete before the end of the transfer window on September 1.

According to information from BILD, BVB are still looking into Asllani. Sporting director Ole Book apparently plays an important role in this. He knows the Kosovo international from their time together at SV Elversberg and is said to be convinced of his qualities. According to the report, Dortmund’s leadership also believe the Hoffenheim player can continue to develop both on the pitch and in terms of his market value.

In Dortmund, Asllani may not be seen only as a short-term reinforcement. In the long term, the club reportedly believes the Berlin-born striker could succeed Serhou Guirassy as the central forward. However, a transfer would have to be structured accordingly from a financial perspective. According to BILD, a possible option being discussed is a loan including an obligation to buy. That would allow BVB to push a large part of the costs into a later financial year.

Asllani to BVB? Fabio Silva departure could open the door

There could be further movement in the situation if Fabio Silva still leaves the club. The 24-year-old Portuguese forward has been linked with Real Betis. If he departs, Dortmund would be thin up front and might have to act again.

At the same time, there is at least the theoretical possibility that Guirassy could receive a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia at short notice. Asllani himself is said to be generally open to a move to Dortmund. Most recently, however, there was also interest from other clubs, including Juventus.

His future had actually seemed to be settled already: Asllani was on the verge of a transfer to Leipzig. However, after the medical, RB decided against completing the signing. Hoffenheim currently assume that the forward will stay. But given Dortmund’s ongoing interest, a late move does not yet appear to be completely off the table.
