After concluding the record sale of Yan Diomandé to Real Madrid, RB Leipzig thought they could accelerate their transfer window, by completing the arrival of Fisnik Asllani. The 23-year-old center forward, playing for Hoffenheim, was initially due to join the Saxon club this Friday, after the RBL lifted his release clause to 25 million euros. However, the deal will not happen. Indeed, Hoffenheim announced that a problem had arisen during the medical examination of the Kosovar international (16 caps), thus derailing the transfer between the two Bundesliga clubs. “ Fisnik Asllani remains at TSG. Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig were recently in discussions over a possible transfer of Fisnik Asllani. This transfer will not take place due to medical concerns raised by RB Leipzig », indicated the club having finished in 5th position in the German championship last season.
“ Fisnik has had a remarkable evolution at TSG. The fact that this transfer does not materialize is, from a sporting point of view, anything but bad news for us. For us, it is completely clear that Fisnik is capable of performing at the highest level, both physically and sportingly. “, said Andreas Schicker, sports director of TSG Hoffenheim. “ We support our player. Fisnik contributed greatly to our success last season, he carried out the preparation at his usual level and will return to training with the team next week », adds the latter.
