Decision made: Fisnik Asllani won't join Dortmund | OneFootball

While efforts to bring in Said El Mala (1. FC Cologne) as another attacking reinforcement are ongoing, it currently does not look like there will be any changes at centre-forward for Borussia Dortmund. Despite recurring transfer rumours surrounding Serhou Guirassy and Fabio Silva, both are in all likelihood set to continue leading the line for BVB — meaning the club probably never became concrete about a targeted alternative and will miss out.

As has already become apparent in recent weeks, Fisnik Asllani will leave TSG Hoffenheim, but not for BVB, who are said to have been monitoring the Kosovo international over a longer period of time.

Asllani, who did not travel with Hoffenheim to their training camp at the start of the week, is, according to a report by Sky, on the verge of a move to RB Leipzig. According to the report, all parties have agreed on the transfer, which now only depends on the medical. The outstanding examination is reportedly scheduled to take place today, Thursday, at 8 a.m. in Salzburg, so an official announcement can be expected before the weekend.

Transfer fee set at 25 million euros

Hoffenheim would have liked to keep Asllani, who made his Bundesliga breakthrough last season after returning from a successful loan spell at SV Elversberg, but were ultimately powerless due to a release clause in his contract.

A transfer fee of around 25 million euros will flow from Leipzig to the Kraichgau, while the 23-year-old centre-forward is expected to sign a contract with the Red Bulls until 2031.
