Thanks to release clause: Hoffenheim’s Asllani set for summer move to BVB? | OneFootball

He's causing quite a stir in the Bundesliga. Fisnik Asllani (23), a striker for TSG Hoffenheim, is the rising star of the first match days. After six rounds, he already has five goal involvements. The German-Kosovar could leave the Kraichgau team next year – thanks to a release clause.

Last season, SV Elversberg nearly made the leap to the top tier, largely thanks to Asllani's scoring prowess. In 37 competitive matches, the pure-blooded striker made it onto the scorer's list 19 times. In addition, he provided his teammates with ten goal assists. After the end of his one-year loan, he returned to his parent club in Hoffenheim.

The top scorer of the lower league had also caught the attention of other first division teams thanks to his top performances. BVB had also taken note of Asllani. But the much-coveted player decided in mid-July to extend his contract with TSG until 2029. However, his contract includes a release clause, as Sky and the Bild newspaper unanimously report.

"A bit like Harry Kane maybe"

"I once said that I see myself as a 'nine and a half'," Asllani recently explained in a club interview. He prefers to initiate attacks and then finish them himself. "A bit like Harry Kane maybe," he compares himself to Munich's top scorer, "but of course not at his level." He would rather have "a beautiful goal assist on the account, by letting the ball run through the legs or passing it on with the heel, than a stumbled goal scored by myself".

Almost every coach would want a player with such abilities in his team. BVB coach Niko Kovač (53) would certainly have nothing against signing the eight-time national player of Kosovo. With another participation in the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund could score some points with Asllani.
