The trail heats up: Fisnik Asllani back on Borussia Dortmund’s radar | OneFootball

Just a few weeks ago, Borussia Dortmund considered themselves well-equipped at center forward with Serhou Guirassy and Fabio Silva, and even for the longer term. Currently, however, things are not going smoothly for either player on the pitch, and at the same time, transfer rumors are swirling around the duo. Meanwhile, after Franculino (FC Midtjylland) and Viktor Dadason (FC Copenhagen), both of whom are still active in Denmark, another striker is now being increasingly linked with BVB as a new signing—one who has already proven his quality in the Bundesliga.

Well before the signing of Fabio Silva, which ultimately only went through at the end of August, BVB made efforts in the summer to sign Fisnik Asllani. However, after a strong year on loan at SV Elversberg, he returned to TSG Hoffenheim. In Kraichgau, the 23-year-old managed to establish himself at a higher level and, after eleven appearances in the current Bundesliga season, has five goals and two assists to his name. Additionally, Asllani has recorded one goal and one assist in two DFB-Pokal matches.

Asllani has an affordable release clause

Dortmund’s interest in Asllani has not faded since last summer and, according to a report by “Bild,” is now flaring up again. BVB is aware of a release clause that the Kosovan international striker secured for himself when he extended his contract with Hoffenheim until 2029 in July, and which is said to be within an affordable range.

At the same time, Asllani is aiming for the next step in his career. For optimal development, the 1.91-meter-tall striker is targeting the Champions League, which, while not entirely out of reach with Hoffenheim this season, would be more likely and above all more regular elsewhere.

It seems likely that Asllani will leave Hoffenheim next summer. BVB will certainly be a hot contender then, especially if Guirassy and/or Silva actually push for a departure. However, Asllani is also being considered by FC Bayern Munich, though so far only as a secondary option.
