Overview
- Reports on Sunday say Fisnik Asllani has asked RB Leipzig for extra time on a near‑final deal while he waits to see if Barcelona make an official offer.
- Barcelona have placed Asllani on a shortlist as a fallback target to replace Ferran Torres if Torres leaves for Paris Saint‑Germain.
- Asllani is viewed by Barcelona as a young rotation forward rather than a first‑choice No. 9, with last season’s Bundesliga tally of 10 goals and seven assists cited as evidence of his upside.
- His reported €29 million release clause makes the signing financially feasible for Barcelona under current budget limits and could be completed without immediate sales.
- The outcome now depends on how quickly Barcelona resolve Torres’s situation, their pursuit of Julian Alvarez, and whether Leipzig press their advanced offer that may force Asllani to choose.
