Fisnik Asllani is scheduled to undergo a medical examination at RB Leipzig on Thursday as his transfer from TSG Hoffenheim moves toward completion. Sky Sports report that the Kosovan international has received the green light from his current club to finalise the switch, with local outlet Leipziger Volkszeitung also documenting the progress.
The former Germany youth international is expected to sign a six-year contract with the Bundesliga club running until 2031. The transfer fee is reportedly set at around €25 million, representing a significant investment in the attacker’s potential.
Breakthrough Season
Asllani enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in 2025/26, contributing 10 goals and 7 assists to help Hoffenheim secure a return to European football. His performances throughout the season attracted significant interest from major clubs across the continent.
Both Borussia Dortmund and FC Barcelona were heavily linked with the forward earlier this summer. However, RB Leipzig have won the race to secure his signature, beating off competition from these prestigious rivals to add another attacking prospect to their ranks.
Squad Changes
Asllani has been deliberately absent from Hoffenheim’s pre-season training camps to ensure the transfer proceeds without complication. The club excluded him from these activities specifically to avoid putting the deal at risk.
His arrival at the Red Bull Arena comes amid significant squad restructuring. Leipzig are expected to sanction Yan Diomande’s mega transfer to Real Madrid for over €100 million in the coming days, potentially creating space and generating funds for new arrivals such as Asllani.
