BVB close to Asllani coup? Trail heats up, but one hurdle remains | OneFootball

Amid persistent rumors about a possible departure of Serhou Guirassy, Borussia Dortmund are apparently already looking into potential alternatives. Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani is increasingly becoming a focus for BVB.

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly seriously considering a move for Fisnik Asllani. According to the club-connected Ruhr Nachrichten, the TSG Hoffenheim striker is internally seen as the preferred solution in case Serhou Guirassy leaves BVB this summer. The future of the prolific forward remains open at the moment. Speculation about a move to Fenerbahce, especially from Turkey, continues unabated.

According to Turkish media, talks between the clubs are expected to take place soon. However, according to Guirassy’s management, there is still no agreement. “To make it clear: No agreement of any kind has been reached whatsoever,” Guirassy’s brother and adviser Karamba recently told Sky. He also made clear: “Serhou is currently weighing his options for next season. Any claim of a verbal deal is simply not true.”

Regardless, Dortmund are apparently preparing for various scenarios. According to Ruhr Nachrichten, those in charge around Lars Ricken and sporting director Ole Book have identified Asllani as their preferred candidate. Book still knows the 23-year-old from their time together at SV Elversberg, where he was able to follow his development closely.

Guirassy’s future will decide whether Asllani joins BVB

For BVB, a transfer could certainly be financially manageable. Asllani has a release clause that allows Champions League participants to buy him out of his Hoffenheim contract, which runs until 2029, for around €30 million.

The attacking player drew attention in the past Bundesliga season with 19 goal contributions, also attracting interest from other clubs. As BILD reports, RB Leipzig among others are said to have already held talks with the striker.

For Dortmund, this situation could therefore become a race against time. As long as Guirassy’s future remains unresolved, BVB are likely to wait. At the same time, however, the risk is growing that a rival club could secure Asllani’s services. One thing is certain: Borussia want to keep Guirassy if possible. But if he does leave, the succession plan already seems to be in place. In any case, Fisnik Asllani is moving ever more into the focus of the Black and Yellows.
