RB Leipzig has abruptly canceled the transfer of Fisnik Asllani from TSG Hoffenheim. Medical concerns during the checks led to the collapse of the deal, as confirmed by the TSG in a statement. The team must now continue searching for reinforcements.
What happened?
The transfer of Fisnik Asllani to RB Leipzig seemed already sealed. However, during medical examinations, the Leipzig officials discovered serious concerns. The TSG Hoffenheim confirmed the cancellation in an official statement on X. 'Fisnik has made remarkable progress with us. The fact that the transfer did not materialize is not bad news sportingly,' said TSG boss Andreas Schicker.
Why did the deal collapse?
The medical checks played a decisive role. RB Leipzig expressed concerns about Asllani's health, leading to the cancellation. The exact details were not disclosed, but the decision highlights the importance of medical safety for the club.
What does this mean for RB Leipzig?
After the departure of Diomande, RB Leipzig continues to search for offensive players. With the failed Asllani deal, the team must now consider other options. Rumors about Köln's Said El Mala persist. The coming weeks will show how RB Leipzig fills the gap.
The preseason preparations are in full swing. RB Leipzig finished last season in 3rd place (65 points, 20 wins, 5 draws, 9 losses, 66:47 goals) and now aims to start strong with new additions. The recent defeat against Freiburg (4:1) shows, however, that reinforcements are urgently needed.
