Around €30m fee fuels RB Leipzig's chase of Hoffenheim's Asllani

RB Leipzig have triggered a release clause to sign Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani for a fee reported at around €27‑30 million, with the 23‑year‑old Kosovar due to arrive at the club’s Saalfelden training camp on Thursday, in a Bundesliga move, following the deal has been settled.

Reports indicate that RB Leipzig have activated a release clause to bring Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani to the club for a fee estimated between €27 million and €30 million. The sum places the transfer among the highest‑priced moves in the Bundesliga this window.

The 23‑year‑old Kosovar has impressed with standout performances for Hoffenheim in Sinsheim, prompting Leipzig to target him as a key addition to their attacking line‑up. His goal‑scoring record and versatility were cited as primary reasons for the pursuit.

Leipzig’s ability to fund the deal was previously constrained by a reliance on transfer income. According to , the imminent €125 million inflow from the Diomande transfer removes that barrier, allowing the club to meet Asllani’s price tag.

Upon completion, Asllani is set to sign a contract that runs until 2031, securing his long‑term future at the Red Bull outfit. The lengthy deal reflects Leipzig’s confidence in his potential contribution.

The player is expected to arrive tomorrow, Thursday, at Leipzig’s training camp in Saalfelden, where his medical examination is also scheduled for the same day. Both the arrival and the health check are slated for Thursday.

For Hoffenheim, the departure of their star striker creates a gap that will need to be filled in the upcoming season. For RB Leipzig, securing Asllani strengthens their squad depth and signals ambition in the Bundesliga.
