Major transfer chance: will BVB move for Asllani now? | OneFootball

Fisnik Asllani is highly rated at Borussia Dortmund. Now, the chances of a transfer for the sought-after Hoffenheim striker appear to be increasing.

Borussia Dortmund could receive a fresh boost in the race for Fisnik Asllani. As kicker reports, the TSG Hoffenheim forward is among the players who are very likely to leave the club this summer. The reason lies in the Kraichgau club’s transfer strategy. After Hoffenheim already invested around €35 million in new signings such as Mats Rots, Patrick Wimmer, Cajetan Lenz and Alessandro Vogt, they are now expected to generate corresponding income.

According to kicker, Asllani is also considered a certain sale candidate. For Borussia Dortmund, that is certainly interesting news. BVB have been linked with the 23-year-old for months. According to BILD, the attacking player is one of the names Dortmund have been monitoring for quite some time. At the same time, however, the newspaper also reports that RB Leipzig are showing strong interest in the Kosovo international.

The Ruhr Nachrichten are even more specific. According to them, Asllani is internally regarded as the preferred solution in the event that star striker Serhou Guirassy leaves the club this summer. Dortmund’s decision-makers are said to have already looked into the Hoffenheim player in great detail.

BVB know Asllani well: Ole Book as an important trump card

One advantage: sporting director Ole Book knows Asllani from their time together at SV Elversberg and has therefore been able to follow his development closely. Financially, a transfer would in principle be feasible. According to kicker, the release clause of the striker, who is under contract until 2029, is around €25 to €30 million. At the same time, however, it is also said that Dortmund might have to dig a little deeper into their pockets, and a fee of more than €30 million could be required.

It is no coincidence that Asllani is so highly sought-after on the market. Last season, he was one of the key figures in Hoffenheim’s attack. With 11 goals and 10 assists in 35 competitive matches, he played a major role in helping TSG secure qualification for the Europa League in the end.

This could present an interesting opportunity for BVB. If Hoffenheim really are dependent on substantial transfer income, a move for Asllani should become more realistic.
