RB Leipzig have completed the signing of Fisnik Asllani from Hoffenheim in a deal worth €30 million, with the 23-year-old striker set to undergo his medical before officially being unveiled by the Bundesliga club.
The Kosovar international has committed his future to Leipzig by signing a contract that will run until June 2031, ending speculation surrounding his future after attracting interest from clubs including Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund.
Leipzig identified Asllani as a priority attacking addition this summer and moved quickly to activate a deal after deciding to strengthen their squad before sanctioning any major departures. The striker arrives as a direct reinforcement to boost the club’s frontline ahead of the new Bundesliga campaign.
Softfootball understands that the transfer is also closely linked to the expected exit of highly rated winger Yan Diomande, with Leipzig keen to have replacements secured before allowing key attacking players to leave.
By completing Asllani’s signing first, Leipzig have ensured they maintain attacking depth while preparing for potential departures later in the transfer window.
The move reflects the club’s long-term recruitment strategy of investing in young, high-potential talent capable of making an immediate impact while continuing to compete at the highest level in Germany and Europe.
