Barcelona begin talks to understand conditions to sign Bundesliga forward | OneFootball

Barcelona’s search for a long-term attacking solution appears to have taken an intriguing turn, with a fresh report from SPORT revealing that the club has already made contact regarding Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani. 

As the Blaugrana continue to plan for life after Robert Lewandowski, the focus is shifting towards younger, more financially viable options, and Asllani fits that profile perfectly.

According to the report, Barcelona have approached Hoffenheim to understand the conditions under which the German side would be willing to part ways with the forward in the summer transfer window. 

A rising talent

Asllani’s recent performances on the international stage with Kosovo have significantly boosted his profile. 

These displays have reignited interest in the striker, prompting those close to him to finally address the increasing speculation.

Following Kosovo’s standout result against Slovakia, his agent, Ayman Dahmani, chose to speak openly about the situation. 

Rather than downplaying the rumours, he confirmed Barcelona’s involvement in clear terms.

This confirmation adds weight to what appears to be a well-considered move from Barcelona. 

Internally, the club is assessing attacking options that combine potential with affordability. 

Asllani, still developing but already showing a natural eye for goal, fits that mould.

Barcelona are evaluating

Importantly, Barcelona are also understood to be evaluating the player’s mindset and long-term ambition. 

Furthermore, from a financial perspective, the operation remains within reach, as the striker is believed to have a release clause that does not exceed €30 million.

That said, this is far from a done deal since Barcelona are still in the information-gathering phase, and several factors need clarification, including the exact terms of his clause. 

This is why the coming weeks will be crucial.
