RB Leipzig was in agreement with TSG Hoffenheim and striker Fisnik Asllani over a transfer. Asllani traveled to Salzburg to undergo a medical check-up. Then came the shock. The doctors at RB had concerns, laid their veto. Leipzig stopped the transfer and withdrew. According to Bild information, there were long-term concerns among the doctors. A short-term rehabilitation would not have helped. Therefore, the responsible parties also made the decision to cancel the transfer of the Kosovar national player. In the official statement of TSG Hoffenheim, there was also talk of „medical concerns“, but the assessment of the RB doctors is not shared by the medical department of the Hoffenheimer. In the Kraichgau, according to Bild, the Leipziger concerns are „massively exaggerated“. At TSG, Asllani is now being reintegrated into training. From a sporting point of view, his stay is a gain for the Bundesliga team. Due to an exit clause, the hands of the Hoffenheim managers were tied. „That this transfer is now not going to happen, is for us a sporting anything but a bad news“, said Managing Director Andreas Schicker. For the time being, Hoffenheim can rely on the goal-scorer. If another interested party were to submit an offer and want to obtain a medical third opinion, Asllani would, however, no longer be hindered. In Leipzig, alternatives are being examined on the transfer market. RB Leipzig currently occupies third place in the Bundesliga table. The 2025 season ended with 65 points, 20 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses from 34 games. The most recent defeat dates back to May 16, 2026, when SC Freiburg defeated RB Leipzig 4-1.
