RB Leipzig misses out on Fisnik Asllani transfer due to medical concerns. The Kosovar international was actually already at RB Leipzig, but the transfer fell through at the last minute. TSG Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig were in talks over a potential transfer of Fisnik Asllani. This transfer comes due to medical concerns that RB Leipzig had filed, and it did not come to fruition. Asllani traveled to RB Leipzig's training camp in Austria on Thursday evening to undergo a medical check. Hoffenheim had previously released the midfielder for the check. During the examination, the concerns arose in Saxony, which ultimately led to Leipzig backing out of the 25 million euro transfer. This is the amount of the exit clause in Asllani's contract with Hoffenheim. The Kosovar international was Leipzig's absolute top target for the striker position. According to Sky, all the details of the deal had already been agreed upon, and Asllani was to sign a five-year contract with the Champions League participant until 2031.

Why is this important for RB Leipzig? RB Leipzig misses out on Fisnik Asllani transfer due to medical concerns.

What comes next? TSG Hoffenheim has announced that Asllani will now stay in the Kraichgau and will not join any other new club. Whether something will change again by the end of the transfer window in early September remains to be seen. In the past few months, other prominent clubs have also been linked with Asllani. Borussia Dortmund, for example, has reportedly shown great interest in the 23-year-old, who will celebrate his 24th birthday on Saturday. If Neuner Serhou Guirassy leaves the BVB this summer, the Borussia may possibly try again to sign Asllani, who is also being eyed by FC Barcelona. Hoffenheim had brought Asllani from Union Berlin in 2020, but it took several years for the Kosovar to break through at TSG. A loan to the then-second-division SV Elversberg in the 2024/25 season finally brought the breakthrough, and Asllani established himself in the previous season at Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. In the 2025/26 season, he scored 11 goals in 35 competitive appearances.
