Guirassy set to leave? BVB move for Asllani gathers pace | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are stepping up their search for a possible replacement for Guirassy. Despite public denials, Fisnik Asllani is apparently moving more and more into BVB’s focus.

The rumors surrounding a possible move by Fisnik Asllani to Borussia Dortmund are gaining increasing momentum — even if the club’s leadership has so far remained rather reserved in public. As BILD reports, the Black and Yellows have already taken concrete steps in their pursuit of the Hoffenheim striker.

According to the report, contact has already been made with the 23-year-old. Internally, Asllani is currently considered the “hottest name on the list,” according to BILD, if top striker Serhou Guirassy leaves the club this summer. Given the large number of interested parties, a departure by the prolific scorer is becoming increasingly likely. Asllani brings a profile that could fit Dortmund well.

The Kosovo international impresses above all with his ability to play with his back to goal and his fine technique. His nine goals and six assists in 28 appearances this season impressively underline his positive development. It is therefore no surprise that BVB are not the only club keeping tabs on him — he has also attracted interest internationally. His agent recently confirmed: “Barcelona’s interest in the player is current, and there has already been contact from the Catalan club.”

BVB transfer: Asllani available via multi-million release clause

However, a possible move would require a larger investment. Despite being under contract until 2029, Asllani has a release clause which, according to the report, amounts to between €25 million and €29 million. It is a fee Dortmund will have to weigh carefully.

The player himself remains calm and focused despite the speculation. “With everything going on, I just try to keep my smile. That is one of my greatest strengths,” Asllani said to Sky, adding: “I can’t influence what people say.” His focus is clearly on the pitch, where he wants to “always give everything.”

Officially, BVB are meanwhile keeping their cards close to their chest. Managing director Lars Ricken recently said: “We have Serhou Guirassy and Fábio Silva in that position. I think we are excellently staffed there.” However, if Guirassy leaves, the situation could change quickly. Behind the scenes, Borussia Dortmund are already pushing ahead with their planning — and Fisnik Asllani is apparently moving increasingly into focus.
