Top Striker Joins RB Leipzig for 30 Million Euros
A transfer sensation in the Bundesliga is on the verge of completion. According to BILD, RB Leipzig has triggered the 30 million euro release clause for Hoffenheim's top striker Fisnik Asllani (23). The Kosovare is expected to arrive at the training camp in Saalfelden (Austria) on Thursday.
Asllani's Move to Leipzig Imminent! The planned transfer had been delayed - partly because Leipzig was still reliant on transfer income.
Diomande's Decision Brings Tempo to Asllani's Transfer
With the sale of superstar Yan Diomande (19) to Real Madrid, Leipzig is now on the verge of a record transfer. The Saxons can expect a minimum of 125 million euros. This has brought tempo to the Asllani transfer!
It's possible that Asllani will join RB Leipzig on Thursday and be on the pitch. This would be the conclusion of a real nail-biter!
Since the transfer talks had begun, Asllani was no longer part of Hoffenheim's squad during the last test matches. Top teams like Borussia Dortmund and FC Barcelona had also shown interest, but ultimately drew the shorter straw.
The departure is a significant loss for Hoffenheim - but the TSG had expected it. The offensively-minded star was not part of the training camp in Seefeld (Austria) and a transfer was already planned.
The positive side: Hoffenheim has strengthened itself with transfers like Patrick Wimmer (25) or Nathan de Cat (18).
What's Next?
The transfer of Asllani is on the verge of completion. Hoffenheim must now focus on the upcoming games. The TSG is currently in 6th place in the Bundesliga with 51 points. The team has played DLLDW in the last games and is 25 points behind the leaders, Bayern München.
What Does This Mean for Hoffenheim?
The loss of Asllani is a significant blow for the TSG. The offensively-minded star was an important part of the team and will be hard to replace. Hoffenheim must now focus on the upcoming games and strengthen the team.
What's the Next Step?
Hoffenheim must now focus on the upcoming games. The TSG is currently in 6th place in the Bundesliga with 51 points. The team has played DLLDW in the last games and is 25 points behind the leaders, Bayern München.
