RB Leipzig close to signing Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani
Bundesliga club RB Leipzig is nearing a deal to sign 23‑year‑old Kosovo international Fisnik Asllani from TSG Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim confirmed that Asllani will not travel to their pre‑season training camp in Seefeld, Austria, and he has been omitted from recent friendly matches, indicating a likely departure.
The transfer hinges on activating a €30 million release clause, with personal terms reportedly close to finalisation. While Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and other clubs showed interest, Leipzig appear to have the strongest position. The club is also reviewing its attacking options before committing, but the move would give Leipzig a highly sought‑after forward and leave Hoffenheim without one of its key attackers for the upcoming season.
