Asllani Close to Joining RB Leipzig After Missing Hoffenheim Training Camp

Leipzig plan to trigger the striker’s release clause once they free a forward slot by selling a centre‑forward and finalise his salary.

Overview

  • Hoffenheim confirmed on Sunday that Fisnik Asllani did not travel to the club’s Seefeld, Austria, training camp, a move reports say lets him complete talks with RB Leipzig.
  • Multiple outlets report Leipzig intend to activate Asllani’s contractual release clause, which has been placed in reporting between about €25 million and €30 million.
  • Personal terms are described as close to agreement in recent reporting, with final salary details left to be settled between Asllani’s representatives and Leipzig.
  • Leipzig are awaiting the sale or departure of one of their current centre‑forwards — names linked include Rômulo, Conrad Harder and Samba Konate — before making the transfer official.
  • Asllani earned his move after a breakthrough season at Hoffenheim with roughly 11 goals and 10 assists and his sale would form part of Hoffenheim’s large summer turnover that has generated substantial transfer income.
