Bundesliga striker opens up on Barcelona move​

A Bundesliga hotshot has opened up in a candid interview about his strong desire to join FC Barcelona in the near future.

Robert Lewandowski’s age and contract situation, coupled with Ferran Torres’ emergence as a reliable alternative, have prompted a strategic rethink, shifting the focus away from blockbuster pursuits toward more attainable targets that align with Hansi Flick’s high-intensity system.

At the same time, Harry Kane seems destined to stay at Bayern Munich, leaving sporting director Deco to explore Bundesliga gems that offer proven output at reasonable cost.

This approach underscores Barcelona’s need to balance ambition with FFP compliance, targeting players who can contribute immediately while possessing resale value for future windows.​

Bundesliga striker Fisnik Asllani has opened up on a potential Barcelona move, acknowledging the rumours while emphasising his current commitment to TSG Hoffenheim, as reported by Diario Sport.

The 23-year-old Kosovan forward, who has notched six goals and three assists in 14 appearances this season, said that the speculation is an honour, but his priority remains performing for his club.

“Of course, I hear and read things like that. It’s an honour, and I feel a little proud of it, but I’m focused on Hoffenheim,” Asllani stated, adding a measured, “We’ll see what happens in the end. Everything in its own time.”​

Asllani’s accessible €25-29 million release clause—despite his contract running until 2029—positions him as an attractive market opportunity, drawing interest from Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund.

The forward’s calm demeanour reflects maturity beyond his years, as he consults family and friends on career planning: “I’m not 18 anymore, and you start planning your career and your life… Thinking about how far I want to go and what I want.”​

For Barcelona, securing such a profile at a bargain fee could prove pivotal in maintaining title contention while managing squad evolution.
