Borussia Dortmund is on the verge of finalizing a blockbuster deal with TSG Hoffenheim’s young attacking sensation, Fisnik Asllani. Insiders confirm that all contractual details have been ironed out, with the transfer set to be officially announced in the coming days.
The 23-year-old Kosovo international has been in scintillating form this season, delivering a standout campaign with 11 goals and 10 assists in 35 competitive matches. His consistent performances have positioned him as one of the Bundesliga’s most sought-after forwards, making him a perfect fit for the Westfalenstadion.
Under the terms of his current contract with Hoffenheim—valid until 2029—Asllani’s release clause activates due to Borussia Dortmund’s qualification for the UEFA Champions League group stage for three consecutive seasons. This clause sets the transfer fee at precisely €30 million, a figure both clubs have agreed upon.
what’s next for the bvb attack
With Asllani’s impending arrival, the Borussia Dortmund frontline is set for a reshuffle. The club’s offensive depth will undergo scrutiny as the management evaluates potential exits to balance the squad. Two names prominently featured in internal discussions are Serhou Guirassy and Karim Adeyemi.
serhou guirassy’s future hangs in the balance
Despite persistent rumors linking Guirassy to a move to Fenerbahce, his advisor and brother, Karamba Guirassy, has categorically denied any agreement. In a statement, he emphasized that no deal—verbal or otherwise—has been struck. The 30-year-old Guinea international is currently weighing his options ahead of the upcoming season, with Borussia Dortmund reportedly presenting a long-term project to retain his services at Signal Iduna Park.
Guirassy’s importance to the team is underscored by his recent statistics: since 2024, he has featured in 96 matches, netting 60 goals and providing 15 assists. However, his decision is likely to be deferred until after the FIFA World Cup, adding an extra layer of uncertainty to his future.
karim adeyemi’s contract situation remains unresolved
Karim Adeyemi, now in the final year of his contract, holds significant sway over his future. With his current deal expiring in summer 2027, the 24-year-old forward could leave as a free agent if a new agreement isn’t reached. Talks have been challenging, with Adeyemi and his representatives demanding an annual salary exceeding €10 million—substantially higher than his current €6.5 million remuneration—along with a departure clause.
Niko Kovac’s squad rotation has limited Adeyemi’s game time this season, resulting in 28 Bundesliga appearances averaging just 42 minutes per match, and a modest four goals across all competitions in 2026. The club’s reluctance to meet his financial expectations further complicates the negotiations.
