Asllani heading for Leipzig transfer

Noble Asllani

Kosovo striker Fisnik Asllani is very close to transferring to RB Leipzig.

According to recent German media reports, negotiations between Leipzig and Hoffenheim have entered the final phase and the parties are close to reaching an agreement. 

For this reason, Asllani has not joined the team in the preparatory phase, as he is expected to complete the transfer soon.

Barcelona had also shown interest in Asllani, and had included the Kosovar striker on the list of players it was monitoring.

However, Barcelona did not take concrete steps to transfer Asllani, while Leipzig advanced in talks with Hoffenheim.

Leipzig are willing to pay the €30 million release clause.
