BVB set to end Asllani interest, another Bundesliga move looms | OneFootball

As long as Serhou Guirassy and Fabio Silva are in Borussia Dortmund’s squad, a high-profile signing for the center-forward position is not expected this summer, even though various names have been circulating, most recently above all Nicolo Tresoldi (Club Brugge), but still also Fisnik Asllani (TSG Hoffenheim). The latter, however, can likely soon be definitively removed from the list of candidates.

After the signs had already been mounting recently, Bild is now reporting that Asllani’s move to RB Leipzig is drawing closer and is expected to be completed in July.

Last week, Hoffenheim managing director Andreas Schicker confirmed that Asllani is in talks with clubs from Germany and abroad, something TSG cannot prevent because of a release clause in the Kosovo international striker’s contract. If another club puts the fixed transfer fee on the table, reportedly in the region of €30 million, TSG is powerless and will have to let Asllani go.

A move to Leipzig likely only a matter of time

Although FC Barcelona had also been credited with interest for months and Asllani would certainly have been open to a move to Catalonia, it now looks like his future lies in Leipzig.

According to Bild, the transfer will likely go through once Leipzig have first moved on one or two players with little or no longer any realistic chance of playing time, thereby creating room both in the squad and in the wage budget.
