Fisnik Asllani Set for RB Leipzig Transfer

Race for Asllani’s Signature Intensifies

Fisnik Asllani is on course to depart TSG Hoffenheim this summer, with several top‑flight clubs monitoring his situation. A recent report from Sport Bild shifts the focus toward RB Leipzig, suggesting the Red Bull side now leads the pursuit. Borussia Dortmund had been considered the front‑runner for a period, but internal sources indicate Asllani now favors a move to Leipzig over Signal Iduna Park.

Leipzig Overtakes Dortmund in the Battle

According to the German outlet, Asllani believes his future lies with RB Leipzig rather than Dortmund. The shift in perception makes a Dortmund transfer increasingly unlikely, despite past speculation linking the player as a potential replacement for Serhou Guirassy. Guirassy, a Guinean international, remains under contract and his own departure is still uncertain, leaving a vacancy that Asllani could fill if he chose a different direction.

Release Clause and Wider Interest

His €30 million buy‑out clause with Hoffenheim is publicly acknowledged, reinforcing the seriousness of any potential deal. Hoffenheim’s sport‑managing director Andreas Schicker confirmed that negotiations are underway with clubs both inside and outside Germany. Barcelona have also been mentioned as suitors, though Leipzig currently appears best placed to act.

What It Means for All Parties

For Leipzig, securing Asllani would address offensive depth without the need to sell existing assets, strengthening their Bundesliga challenge. Dortmund, meanwhile, must now reassess their forward plans, especially if Guirassy stays. Hoffenheim gains the possibility of a significant inflow that could fund further squad improvements, while Barcelona keeps a foothold in the narrative despite being a less likely destination. The summer window will likely see clubs make final pushes, with the €30 million price tag shaping the negotiations.
