- RB Leipzig want to sign Fisnik Asllani from TSG Hoffenheim
- The Kosovan striker has a €30 million release clause in his contract
- Borussia Dortmund are also monitoring the 23-year-old attacker
- Leipzig already have several young forwards competing for places
German giants RB Leipzig are planning to sign TSG Hoffenheim attacker Fisnik Asllani. The Saxony club want to bring in the 23-year-old to improve their forward line.
Asllani comes from Kosovo and has a release clause of €30 million in his contract. This fixed price makes him a good choice for clubs that need a flexible forward. Reports say Leipzig officials have already held first talks with the player’s camp.
The young star played well last season, scoring ten goals and creating seven assists for Hoffenheim. He can play in several attacking roles, which has caught the eye of many top clubs.
Borussia Dortmund have also watched Asllani for many months. However, the Black and Yellows must first sort out the future of Serhou Guirassy before they bid. This delay could help Leipzig win the race for his signature.
Even with this interest, Leipzig already have several options in attack. Young players Rômulo, Conrad Harder, and Samba Konaté are all fighting for places up front. Manager Marco Rose must decide if he needs Asllani or if he trusts his current group.
