Kosovo international striker Fisnik Asllani is nearing a move from Hoffenheim to RB Leipzig for about €30 million, with talks ongoing as he does not travel with Hoffenheim to their training camp.

Germany’s transfer window runs until early September, with clubs finalizing squad plans ahead of the 2026/27 season as notable moves proceed.

Stuttgart has secured Leo Sauer from Feyenoord for up to €17 million, making him one of the club’s priciest signings.

Leipzig appears to have won the race, choosing Asllani over Dortmund and Barcelona as the summer transfer target signals a decisive move.

Asllani has attracted interest from Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund in recent months, with Barca discussions confirmed by his agent in March and Dortmund considering him as a potential replacement for Serhou Guirassy.

Chelsea has reportedly completed a major signing, bringing in Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace for around €60 million on a contract through 2032, underscoring another busy phase in the market.

Leipzig is actively reshaping its attack, aiming to add Asllani while weighing a move for Mohamed Amoura from Wolfsburg and managing departures such as Yan Diomande to Real Madrid to free space.

Hoffenheim has reinforced this window with signings like Nathan De Cat and Patrick Wimmer, aiming to solidify the squad four weeks before the transfer window closes, even amid Asllani’s potential departure.

If Asllani leaves, Hoffenheim would feel the technical impact, but the club has already strengthened to offset the loss.

Reports suggest the Leipzig deal could be finalized during Hoffenheim’s training camp, with only salary details outstanding between the clubs and the player’s representatives.

VfL Wolfsburg’s Dzenan Pejcinovic is a Stuttgart target, but competition and price expectations from FC Porto and other suitors complicate the move.

Schalke 04 risks losing academy product Vitalie Becker to Lazio Rom if they cannot strike a deal, with Lazio prepared to wait or take him on a free transfer if needed.
